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.
