Case report: value of gene expression profiling in the diagnosis of atypical neuroblastoma

Abstract: BackgroundNephroblastoma and neuroblastoma belong to the most common abdominal malignancies in childhood. Similarities in the initial presentation may provide difficulties in distinguishing between these two entities, especially if unusual variations to prevalent patterns of disease manifestation occur. Because of the risk of tumor rupture, European protocols do not require biopsy for diagnosis, which leads to misdiagnosis in some cases.Case presentationWe report on a 4½-year-old girl with a renal tumor displa… Show more

“…This is a disease of the nervous system that can be found throughout the body but usually found in the abdomen or the adrenal medulla. Neuroblastoma is a common renal cancer and is the fourth most common cancer encountered in children, accounting for 8-10% of all childhood malignancies [2]. Although there are considerable overlaps in symptoms at initial presentation such as abdominal distension, loss of appetite, nausea, or hypertension, children with neuroblastoma usually have a favorable outcome after treatment with chemotherapy and surgery [3].…”
