title: Recurrent pelvic neuroblastoma in an adult patient.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Neuroblastoma is a common malignancy in children, but rarely occurs in adults.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report the case of a 39-year-old woman who was treated for her fourth recurrence of a pelvic neuroblastoma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Because of the rarity of these tumors during adolescence and adulthood, little information is available on the clinical course of patients with neuroblastoma in this age group. Currently there is no standard treatment for adult patients with neuroblastoma. Surgical resection and chemotherapy seem to be best of choice.
