    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Adult Oncology

    Background:

    • Neuroblastoma is a pediatric cancer, rarely diagnosed in adults.
    • Adult-onset neuroblastoma exhibits distinct clinical behaviors compared to pediatric cases.

    Observation:

    • Two adult patients over 25 years old presented with neuroblastoma.
    • Tumor behavior in adults appears less aggressive than in children.

    Findings:

    • Neuroblastoma in adults demonstrated resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
    • Complete surgical resection may be challenging but is crucial.

    Implications:

    • Surgery should be considered the first-line treatment for adult neuroblastoma.
    • Even incomplete tumor removal via surgery may offer therapeutic benefits in adults.
