title: [A case of sacral neuroblastoma in an adult successfully treated with combination chemotherapy].
abstract: A 35-year-old woman was admitted with complaints of severe posterior femoral pain and was diagnosed as having sacral neuroblastoma by tumor open biopsy. After admission, combination chemotherapy consisting of CDDP, etoposide, CPA, and THP was started intra-arterially and intravenously. After 2 courses of chemotherapy, her symptoms markedly improved and the tumor size was reduced. Now, after completion of 16 courses of chemotherapy, she is in a state of partial remission. Hereafter, we intend to reconsider the treatment strategy including surgical therapy.
