Primary paratesticular neuroblastoma: a case report and review of literature

J Pediatr Surg. 2008 Nov;43(11):e5-7. doi: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2008.06.014.

Abstract

Only 4 infants with primary paratesticular neuroblastoma have been previously described. To the author's knowledge, this case would be the first report of a child who is older than 1 year whose lesion is in his right hemiscrotum. After simple tumorectomy was performed; he was tumor free at 4 years of follow-up. Patients older than 1 year with localized primary paratesticular neuroblastoma may have good prognosis after simple tumorectomy without further therapy.
