Paratesticular Neuroblastoma Presenting as Bilateral Paratesticular Tumors

چکیده
We describe a case of simultaneous bilateral paratesticular neuroblastoma presenting as spermatic cord tumors in a 6-month-old boy. He was diagnosed as having stage IV neuroblastoma originated from right adrenal gland with metastases to the paratesticular region, right femur, and right maxilla. The tumor showed favorable biological features according to Shimada’s classification and had no N-myc gene amplification, but several unfavorable features were also present such as a diploid karyotype and TrkA mRNA null status. After intensive treatment including multi-drug chemotherapy and cytoreductive surgery, the patient obtained partial remission. At 3 years after diagnosis, he is alive without any progression.
