Prenatal Diagnosis of Adrenal Neuroblastoma: A Case Report with a Brief Review of the Literature

Abstract: A case of adrenal cystic neuroblastoma detected at 37 weeks of gestation is reported. Postnatal ultrasonographic examination showed slightly increased in size demonstrating marked septations within the cyst. After the tumor was resected, histopathological examinations confirmed the diagnosis. The patient is developing normally at 1 year of age.

“…The most common neonatal tumor is neuroblastoma with an incidence of 0.61 per 100,000 live births and accounts 28–39% of all malignancy in the first month of life [2]. The most common site of presentation in neonatal neuroblastoma is adrenal gland (in90%) [3]. Another less common form of this disorder is thoracic involvement in 11–26%(4).…”

“…The appearances of neuroblastoma on antenatal US are variable and range from cystic, mixed solid and cystic, and completely solid masses with or without calcifications . Cystic neuroblastomas tend to have less morbidity than noncystic tumors . The most common cause of adrenal mass on prenatal US is adrenal hemorrhage.…”
