“…Adult neuroblastoma is very rare; adult recurrent neuroblastoma in the posterior mediastinum and retroperitoneal cavity is extremely rare. [6] As a matter of fact, according to related literature studies, this is the 1st case around the world that has been reported. The treatment of recurrent neuroblastoma located in the posterior mediastinum and retroperitoneum remains to be further assessed.…”

Rationale:Adult recurrent neuroblastoma is extremely rare, especially in the posterior mediastinum and retroperitoneal cavity. The surgical treatment of this special part of the tumor is also a clinical difficulty.Patient concerns:This study reports a case of a 24-year-old man with a history of treated posterior mediastinal neuroblastoma. Enhanced computed tomography found a heterogeneously enhancing mass occupying the retroperitoneal and posterior mediastinum, and the initial impression was recurrent neuroblastoma.Diagnoses:The patient was diagnosed with recurrent neuroblastoma based on his medical history and histopathological results.Interventions:The young adult underwent radical resection of recurrent neuroblastoma in posterior mediastinum and retroperitoneum through thoracoabdominal incision.Outcomes:The young patient recovered to normal within 10 days after surgery and had no relapse for following-up 12 months.Lessons:Despite the difficulty of surgery, it is feasible to remove the tumor in the posterior mediastinum and retroperitoneal cavity safely.

“…They may also lead to signs of paraneoplastic syndromes that include constant diarrhea, fever, high blood pressure (causing irritability), rapid heartbeat, flushing of the skin, and sweating. Because neuroblastomas consist of embryonic cells, they were especially common among small children: up to 90% of the patients are younger than six years old [5] . limits.…”

Background: Neuroblastoma is the neurogenic, extracranial solid tumor of infancy and children emerging anywhere along with the peripheral sympathetic nervous system. Methods: An eight months old boy presented with chief complaints of sub-cutaneous non-tender nodule on the flexor aspect of forearm, pain and fullness of abdomen, emesis, mild bone pain. Complete blood profile and other biochemical parameter were within normal limits. Results: Fine needle aspiration cytology revealed tumour cells having high nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio bare nuclei, which were round to oval in shape. Homer wright rosette arrangement was formed by tumor cells that were radially arranged in a circle. The neuropil, which was stained as eosinophilic material was seen in the center of rosette arrangement. Conclusions: Hence on the basis of age and rare cutaneous presentation along with cytological findings; clinical features and radiological findings we can provide a diagnosis of metastasis neuroblastoma.
