Cystic adrenal masses in newborns are rare. Elevated urinary VMA and HVA levels in a cystic adrenal mass suggest a possible diagnosis of cystic neuroblastoma, even if the mass shrinks.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Neonatal Medicine

Background:

  • Cystic adrenal masses in newborns are uncommon, often resulting from hemorrhage.
  • Differentiating these masses requires careful clinical and diagnostic evaluation.

Observation:

  • A newborn presented with a cystic adrenal mass, initially suspected as hemorrhage.
  • The mass decreased in size, but urinary vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) levels were elevated.

Findings:

  • Surgical resection confirmed the diagnosis of cystic neuroblastoma.
  • This highlights the importance of biochemical markers in diagnosing adrenal masses.

Implications:

  • Elevated urinary VMA and HVA levels warrant consideration of cystic neuroblastoma in newborns with adrenal cystic masses.

  • Nonoperative management of adrenal cystic masses should include vigilance for neuroblastoma, supported by biochemical testing.
