Neuroblastoma presenting as protein-losing enteropathy.
Protein-losing enteropathy is often reported to be associated with malignancies such as Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and mesenteric mesenchymoma, but it seldom complicates neuroblastoma. In this report, we describe a case of neuroblastoma presenting as protein-losing enteropathy in which neurohumoral mechanisms were involved.
