Neuroblastoma with testicular metastasis. Review of literature and report of a case.
Eventhough neuroblastoma presents with wide spread tumour dissemination, metastasis to testes had rarely been reported. We report a case of Stage IV neuroblastoma who developed metastasis to both testes. He had massive infra-diaphragmatic disease with involvement of left supraclavicular lymph node at presentation. Treatment received by him was not adequate and five months later he developed metastasis to both testes. Hematogenous spread might have been the possibility in this case.
