Neuroblastoma accounts for a significant portion of childhood tumors and can present in a variety of ways. Pelvic neuroblastoma has been reported but few cases exist of neuroblastoma invading or originating from the bladder or prostate. We present a 4-year-old patient with pelvic neuroblastoma arising from the prostate and describe the medical and surgical management of this challenging case. While pelvic neuroblastoma may have an improved prognosis, this case demonstrates the challenging surgical decisions that accompany these patients to maintain quality of life while balancing oncologic efficacy of treatment.

Introduction: Neuroblastoma is an embryonic tumor of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system. It is the most common extracranial solid tumor of childhood and accounts for up to 15% of all pediatric cancer fatalities. The manifestation of neuroblastoma is variable depending on the location of the tumor and the presence or absence of paraneoplastic syndromes.

Background: Image-defined risk factors (IDRFs) were introduced to provide a consensus approach for pre-treatment risk stratification on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with neuroblastoma.
Objective: To assess the intra- and inter-reader agreement of radiologists in identifying IDRFs on CT.

Article Synopsis
- * Two cases of neuroblastoma were reported, with one child experiencing urinary retention and the other showing ataxia, both presenting as pelvic masses.
- * Imaging techniques revealed large pelvic masses extending to the spinal canal, and histopathology confirmed neuroblastomas, underscoring the importance of recognizing diverse presentations for timely diagnosis and management.

Catecholamine producing tumours of childhood include neuroblastic tumours, phaeochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL). PPGL and neuroblastic tumours can arise in similar anatomical locations and clinical presentations can overlap resulting in diagnostic challenges. Distinguishing between these tumour types is critical as management and long-term surveillance strategies differ depending on the diagnosis.
