Abstract

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in pediatric age group. Clinical presentation of neuroblastoma is mostly related to origin of the tumor, extent of disease, and the presence of paraneoplastic syndromes. Here the authors report a neonate with neuroblastoma with an atypical presentation, diagnosed with postnatal abdominal ultrasonography performed due to polyhydramniosis in her mother during pregnancy.
