Bilateral adrenal neuroblastoma: stage V disease.
Neuroblastoma frequently arises from the adrenal gland and has rarely been reported to arise synchronously in both adrenal glands. The majority of reports of bilateral adrenal neuroblastoma are in children under the age of 1 year. We present a case of bilateral adrenal neuroblastoma in an 8-year-old child. This is the first report of bilateral disease in a child over the age of 1 year with stage IV neuroblastoma.
