The clinico-roentgenological picture of retroperitoneal neuroblastomas was studied in 124 children. According to the clinical course of the disease the patients were divided into 3 main groups: a group with asymptomatic course (18 patients), children with local symptoms (63 patients). The roentgenological examination is believed by the authors to be a leading factor in the diagnosis of retroperitoneal neuroblastomas.

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.

Retroperitoneal teratomas are rare neoplasms in neonates, presenting with nonspecific symptoms and variable clinical features, making diagnosis challenging. Radiological investigations, particularly fetal ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed tomography, play a critical role in their detection. Differential diagnoses include neuroblastoma, adrenal hemorrhage, and congenital cystic lesions, which share overlapping clinical and imaging features.

Article Synopsis
- Ganglioneuroma (GN) is the least aggressive and most mature type of neuroblastic tumors, typically found in the chest, abdomen, and adrenal glands.
- It primarily affects children under 10 years old, but metastasis to lymph nodes or other organs can occur very rarely.
- The case discussed involves a 4-year-old child with a primary adrenal ganglioneuroma that had metastasized to lymph nodes, but without any immature neuroblastoma cells present.

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.

Article Synopsis
- Retroperitoneal teratomas are rare tumors in newborns that can complicate the diagnosis of abdominal masses, especially in cases like Down syndrome which is linked to increased cancer risk.
- A neonate with Down syndrome was found to have a cystic lesion near the left kidney during an ultrasound for poor feeding, leading to further investigation that suggested various potential tumors.
- After surgical removal of the cyst, it was confirmed as a mature cystic teratoma, and the child had a successful recovery and is doing well a year later.
