Adrenal Neuroblastoma Producing Catecholamines Diagnosed in Adults: Case Report
Neuroblastoma is a solid tumor considered almost exclusively pediatric, with more than 95% of patients diagnosed before 10 years of age, with a mostly benign clinical course and with encouraging survival rates in these age ranges. It occurs rarely in adolescents, and the presentation in young adults...

| description | Neuroblastoma is a solid tumor considered almost exclusively pediatric, with more than 95% of patients diagnosed before 10 years of age, with a mostly benign clinical course and with encouraging survival rates in these age ranges. It occurs rarely in adolescents, and the presentation in young adults or older people is even rarer; consequently, a more severe prognosis and higher mortality rates have been documented within this population. This is also due to a great limitation within the treatment since the chemotherapeutic regimens proposed so far are valid for pediatric patients, with low tolerance to it within the adult population. We present the case of a 24-year-old female patient with catecholamine-secreting neuroblastoma who obtained surgical management, with subsequent local tumor recurrence, with subsequent need for onco-specific and symptomatic management. |
