We describe the appearance of an adrenal neuroblastoma associated with tumor thrombus occurring in an adult patient. The tumor measured 14 x 12 x 12 cm, showed heterogeneous signal intensity on both T1-weighted and T2-weighted images, and displayed peripheral nodular enhancement on early post-gadolinium images. Tumor thrombus was identified within the inferior vena cava, which extended into the right atrium.
