1. Introduction
Neuroblastoma (NBL) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in
childhood that derives from the neural crest and clinical symptoms vary
depending on location, distal spread, and secreted metabolites of the
tumors [1].
NBL is a special disease that occurs almost early in childhood.
Neuroblastoma is formed from the abnormal differentiation of germinal
cells at embryonic formation and organ formation. This is a disease of
the nervous system that can be found throughout the body but usually
found in the abdomen or the adrenal medulla. Neuroblastoma is a common
renal cancer and is the fourth most common cancer encountered in
children, accounting for 8-10% of all childhood malignancies [2].
Although there are considerable overlaps in symptoms at initial
presentation such as abdominal distension, loss of appetite, nausea, or
hypertension, children with neuroblastoma usually have a favorable
outcome after treatment with chemotherapy and surgery [3]. Described
herein was a case of a 10-month-old boy with neuroblastoma presented
with increased work of breathing, rhinorrhea, and cough.
