An infant with bilateral adrenal neuroblastoma found by mass-screening: report of a case.
A male infant with bilateral adrenal neuroblastoma found by mass-screening is herein reported. The patient presented with almost equal-sized tumors, each remaining confined to the respective adrenal gland without crossing the midline. No other tumorous lesion was evident. The two adrenal tumors had similar histologic features and appeared to have grown concurrently. Such simultaneous occurrence of primary adrenal neuroblastoma is unusual, and appears to reflect the multicentric origin of this tumor.
