title: Cervical neurogenic tumors presenting as thoracic apical masses in infants and children.
abstract: Seven cases of cervical neurogenic tumor presented in an almost identical manner roentgenographically; a polypoid extrapleural mass at the lung apex. The association of neuroblastoma with Horner syndrome and heterochromia of the irides is mentioned. Characteristic roentgen appearance should be appreciated due to good prognosis of cervical neuroblastoma with prompt therapy.
