Staged resection of a bilateral thoracic and bilateral adrenal neuroblastoma

Abstract

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood. However, ganglioneuroma (GN) and ganglioneuroblastoma intermixed (GNBI), are considerably rare. Herein, we reported a rare case of bilateral thoracic and adrenal GN and GNBI in a 5-year-old boy. A three-stage operation was performed and all tumors were completely resected. The patient received no further treatment and no recurrence was found during a 2-year follow-up.
