A Case of Congenital Neuroblastoma Detected by Prenatal Ultrasonography / 대한주산의학회잡지

ABSTRACT

The increasingly common use of obstetrical sonography has led to a growing number of prenatally diagnosed neuroblastomas. The two most important factors in the prognosis of clinical neuroblastoma are the age of the patient at diagnosis and the stage of the disease. Patients with disease at an earlier stage and well-differentiated tumors have a better prognosis than those with disease at a more advanced stage and poorly differentiated tumors. We have experienced a case of congenital neuroblastoma that was recognized prenatally by ultrasonography and identified as stage IV disease postnatally. We report the case with brief review of related literatures.
