Primary intrarenal neuroblastoma in a 13-month-old girl presenting as a Wilms' tumor with pulmonary metastasis

Turk J Pediatr. 2016;58(5):532-534. doi: 10.24953/turkjped.2016.05.011.

Abstract

We report a 13-month-old girl with primary intrarenal neuroblastoma initially diagnosed as Wilms' tumor. Intrarenal neuroblastoma is exceedingly rare in pediatric age that may masquerade as Wilms' tumor clinically and radiographically and it is important to differentiate for management.

Keywords: Wilms' tumor; intrarenal neuroblastoma; pediatric.
