Neuroblastoma in an adult

Thomas W McLean et al. Urology. 2004 Dec.

Abstract

Neuroblastoma is extremely rare in adults. Advances in classification and therapy have been recently made by an analysis of pediatric tumors. We present the case of a 39-year-old man who had Stage 1 neuroblastoma with unfavorable histologic features that was treated with surgery only. Neuroblastoma should be considered as a diagnosis for adult patients with a suprarenal mass and, if confirmed, neuroblastoma in adults should be classified and treated according to pediatric guidelines.
