[Fetal cystic neuroblastoma]

Abstract

Neuroblastoma is the most common malignant solid tumor in infants less than 1 year old. A case of adrenal cystic neuroblastoma detected by ultrasound in the 37 th week of pregnancy, is reported. The sonographic features of fetal neuroblastoma range from solid to cystic or complex lesions. Early detection of the tumor by prenatal ultrasound permits prompt neonatal treatment and a better outcome.
