Primary neuroblastoma of the mandible.
Primary neuroblastoma of the mandible is rare with only seven cases reported to date. The diagnosis is made after any possible primary tumour has been adequately investigated for and excluded. We report a one-year nine-month-old girl with a primary neuroblastoma of the mandible and discuss its possible aetiology.
