Unusual Location of Neuroblastoma: A Report of Two Cases.

Neuroblastoma is the most common extra-cranial solid tumor in children under the age of five years and is the second most prevalent malignancy in children after acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We are presenting two cases of neuroblastoma in children presented as intra-pelvic masses. The first patient presented with urinary retention while the second patient presented with ataxia. The initial imaging including ultrasound, CT scan, and MRI showed a large solid mass in the pelvis in both patients with extension to the spinal canal through the neural foramina at different levels. The histopathological results confirmed pelvic neuroblastomas. These cases highlight the rare locations of neuroblastoma in children and emphasize the variable presentations of this rare location. Knowledge of possible presentations of neuroblastoma aids early detection and expedites the proper management, especially in emergency settings.
