Abstract:
It was found a solid tumour of 24 x 28 x 31 mm size above the right kidney with ultrasound screening in a three days old newborn. After three days appeared cystic areas inside the tumour, so it was thought to adrenal haemorrhage. The tumour didn't decrease during two months and metastases developed in the liver. The urinary VMA level was normal, the HVA elevated. The MIBG scintigraphy was first negative, after a month pathognostic. The primer tumour and metastases disappeared after cyclophosphamid and Adriablastin treatment. The adrenal neuroblastoma can imitate the adrenal apoplexy, so it's important to control all neonatal adrenal haemorrhage until their disappearance.
