Abstract:
We present the case of a three-year-old child with a history of recurrent wheezy chest and lower respiratory tract infections, who was initially managed as having recurrent viral-induced wheeze. However, persistent symptoms and poor response to standard treatment prompted further investigations, which eventually led to a diagnosis of thoracic neuroblastoma. This case highlights the importance of considering alternative diagnoses in children with recurrent respiratory symptoms, especially when not responding to conventional therapy.
