| description | Background: The clinical presentation of neuroblastoma can widely vary but can include orthopaedic related complaints. Case details: We present two cases of neuroblastoma diagnosis after an initial presentation of an orthopaedic complaint of limp and hip pain.

Conclusion: These cases demonstrate the importance of orthopaedic surgeons including neuroblastoma in the differential diagnosis of hip pain and limp. |
