Abstract:
Neuroblastoma is a neural crest-derived tumor and the most common malignant tumor in neonates. Its clinical presentation can be quite variable. In some cases, it presents as an aggressive metastatic disease whilst in others it is a finding in scans performed for other reasons. The following report presents the case of a premature newborn, diagnosed postnatally with metastatic congenital neuroblastoma, with an atypical and torpid course, including severe renal injury and dialysis requirement.
