Abstract
Abstract Objectives Neuroblastoma (NB) is one of the most common tumor during perinatal period. The clinical features of NB occurring in fetuses and neonates differ from that in the older age groups. Frequently, Congenital neuroblastomas are incidentally detected prenatally. Clinical presentations of NBs in neonates are highy variable. Case presentation A 24-day old preterm 32 weeks’ gestation male neonate developed cholestasis that lead to the diagnosis of stage MS neuroblastoma. There was no NB primary site identified. Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of metastatic NB (Stage MS) in a preterm neonate presenting with cholestsis but without any identifiable adrenal or extra-adrenal primary.
期刊介绍:
Case Reports in Perinatal Medicine is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal. The objective of the new journal is very similar to that of JPM. In addition to evidence-based studies, practitioners in clinical practice esteem especially exemplary reports of cases that reveal specific manifestations of diseases, its progress or its treatment. We consider case reports and series to be brief reports describing an isolated clinical case or a small number of cases. They may describe new or uncommon diagnoses, unusual outcomes or prognosis, new or infrequently used therapies and side effects of therapy not usually discovered in clinical trials. They represent the basic concept of experiences for studies on representative groups for further evidence-based research. The potential roles of case reports and case series are: Recognition and description of new diseases Detection of drug side effects (adverse or beneficial) Study of mechanisms of disease Medical education and audit Recognition of rare manifestations of disease.
