Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Neuroblastoma is a pediatric neoplasm that is most common cancer diagnosed during infancy. Male to female ratio is 1.1:1 showing slight preponderance towards males. Neuroblastoma occurs primarily in the abdomen in 60% cases but in 8% cases the tumour arises in the orbit where it arises from ciliary ganglion. Seventy-five percent cases occur before the age of four years.
Case Report: We describe a case of five year old boy who presented with a rapidly progressing large tumour in his left orbit. CECT revealed a mass in the left orbital region pushing the eyeball anteriorly. A histopathologic diagnosis of neuroblastoma was made. Subsequent medical evaluation including chest X-ray, USG of the abdomen, whole body computerized tomography and bone scintigraphy showed no evidence of systemic involvement or metastasis. Conclusion: Neuroblastoma although an uncommon primary orbital tumour in children but it should be considered in the differenrial diagnosis of orbital tumours in children. | |
