Abstract :
Neuroblastoma, an embryonal tumor arising from
the sympathetic nervous system, is the most
common neonatal malignancy that accounts for
>20% of neonatal cancers[1]. The most common
location for neuroblastoma to originate (i.e., the
primary tumor) is on the adrenal glands but primary cancer originating from lung is very rare.
We report a case of newborn who was referred to
us as case of persistent pneumonia but was
diagnosed as primary congenital neuroblastoma of
lung.
