Abstract
|
|
|
|
Neuroblastoma is a soft tissue Malignant tumor in the early childhood originating from the sympathetic nervous system, and usually occurs in the abdomen, thorax, and pelvis. It is rare in the head and neck region and primary cervical neuroblastoma (PCN) is very rare. We present 13-month old boy with slowly growing right neck mass confirmed neuroblastoma. The mass was excised with surrounding enlarged lymph nodes. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy was done. During chemotherapy enlarged lymph nodes were found and removed surgically. These nodes showed metastatic well differenciated neuroblastoma. Radiation therapy was added. The patient had total 15 times chemotherapy and 1500cGy radiation, and there was no evidence after the second operation.
