title: [Retroperitoneal neuroblastoma diagnosed in utero. Apropos of 1 case].
abstract: The authors present a rare case of a retroperitoneal neuroblastoma discovered during a routine pregnancy check in the 29th week of amenorrhea and showing up as a 1.4 cm dia. hyperechoic nodule. A follow-up sonogram, obtained one month later, showed the lesion had increased in size. Following birth, the diagnosis was confirmed during surgery. The overwhelming importance of early diagnosis of this tumor for a favorable prognosis points out the value of systematic examination of the suprarenal regions of the foetus in the course of the last U.S. examination during pregnancy.
