Abstract:
We present a rare case of a 17-month-old child diagnosed with MS-stage neuroblastoma and associated chronic diarrhea due to elevated vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) levels. The unusual occurrence of a VIP-secreting tumor in a patient with MS neuroblastoma is a rare combination, not previously reported in the literature. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy and excision of the tumor, leading to a significant decline in VIP levels and resolution of symptoms.
