Abstract

Neuroblastoma, a relatively common tumor in infants, is rarely present at birth. A solid mass is the typical appearance of this neoplasm, while cystic formation is uncommon. Congenital cystic neuroblastoma is extremely rare and no previous report exists of its occurrence in the orbit. A newborn girl was referred with an extremely large mass on the right side of her face on the third day of her life. Prenatal ultrasonography had revealed a large mass (80 × 80 mm) in the frontal area. MRI revealed a heterogeneous mass composed of cystic and solid, contrast-enhancing components. Excisional biopsy was successfully performed and histopathologic diagnosis of neuroblastoma was confirmed. Systemic workup was negative for involvement of other organs and levels of catecholamine metabolites of serum and urine (homovanillic acid and vanillylmandelic acid) were normal. Postoperative course was uneventful with complete healing of the anophthalmic socket and normal physical and mental growth and development of the infant. To our knowledge, this is the first report of congenital cystic neuroblastoma primarily arising in the orbit. © 2018 S. Karger AG, Basel.
