title: Metastatic neuroblastoma after 52 years of dormancy.
abstract: A metastatic neuroblastoma arose in a posterior mediastinal tumor that had been present for at least 52 years. The diagnosis of neuroblastoma was first made when the patient was 81 years of age from biopsy of a metastatic lesion to the femur and later from biopsy of the mediastinal mass.
