ABSTRACT


Introduction: Neuroblastoma is the third most common malignancy in pediatrics, subcutaneous metastases of antenatal neuroblastoma are described in the literature and they represent 1% of secondary localizations of neuroblastoma.

Case Report: We report the case of a 12-month-old male infant with an antenatal neuroblastoma of the left adrenal gland revealed by inguino-scrotal and forearm subcutaneous nodules whose anatomopathological study was in favor of cutaneous metastases of a neuroblastoma.

Conclusion: Neuroblastoma is a very frequent embryonic tumor in pediatrics, subcutaneous metastases are often revealing of antenatal neuroblastoma, the diagnosis of certainty is essentially based on anatomopathological study.

Keywords: Adrenal gland, Metastases, Neuroblastoma, Subcutaneous nodules
