A case of angiomatoid neuroblastoma with intracytoplasmic glycogen demonstrable by both light and electron microscopy is presented. A review of the histogenesis of the adrenal medulla indicates that glycogen‐containing tumors of the adrenal medulla originate from a more primitive cell than their non‐glycogen‐containing counterparts.
