Neuroblastoma in 3 months old infant - A rare case report

Neuroblastoma is one of the most common childhood malignancies. Patients diagnosed under 1 years of age (40%) have a much better prognosis than those diagnosed in later childhood. Neuroblastoma originates from neural crest cells of the adrenal medulla or sympathetic ganglia. Neuroblastomas commonly present as an asymptomatic mass in a child. The treatment of neuroblastoma depends on the stage, and it includes surgical excision, multi agent chemotherapy, and bone marrow transplantation.
