Bilateral adrenal neuroblastoma
Background: Bilateral tumors in double organs like bilateral adrenal neuroblastoma are highly rare. Few cases have been reported in the literature. Case reports: A full-term male infant, 11 months old, had an abdominal mass diagnosed by triphasic abdominal CT as bilateral adrenal neuroblastoma. The...

| description | Background: Bilateral tumors in double organs like bilateral adrenal neuroblastoma are highly rare. Few cases have been reported in the literature. Case reports: A full-term male infant, 11 months old, had an abdominal mass diagnosed by triphasic abdominal CT as bilateral adrenal neuroblastoma. The case was stage 1, and the management was bilateral adrenalectomy. Discussion: When the neuroblastoma mass measures less than 5 cm in diameter, the infant can likely be safely supervised without cytoreduction surgery or histological confirmation of the tumor, but if the tumour progressively increases in size or the size is greater than 5 cm, then surgery is essential. Conclusion: Surgery is the best option when an infant has bilateral large localized adrenal neuroblastoma. |
