Abstract
- We report a case that a neuroblastoma in a fetus was recognized before birth and its growth could be observed. The diagnosis was made by ultrasonography. The suprarenal mass initially showed pure cystic features on ultrasound. Surgical exploration revealed an adrenal cystic tumor and histology showed a neuroblastoma in situ. Forty-five infants with prenatally detected neuroblastoma were found in the English literature; about one-half of them were cystic neuroblastomas and most had a favorable outcome.
