Abstract

Neuroblastoma (NB), a tumor of primitive neuroectodermal cells, is diagnosed exclusively in children and is the third most common childhood cancer and the most common neonatal malignancy that accounts for >20% of neonatal cancer [1]. The presentation of NB can vary widely, as it could spontaneously regress, mature to a benign ganglioneuroma, or metastasize aggressively. NB occurring in the perinatal period frequently carries a good outcome with most of the tumors carrying normal MYCN copy number and hyperdiploid DNA index [2]. The mean age at diagnosis is 17.3 months, however a review of the literature revealed a sparsity of data reported on congenital cases of adrenal neuroblastomas with in-utero liver metastasis. We describe a case of a female infant born at full-term in June 2018 with Congenital Neuroblastoma on the right adrenal along with extensive metastatic deposits on the liver.
