Neuroblastoma is an extracranial malignant tumor in children that is most often located in the adrenal gland and sympathetic ganglion. Here, we present a rare case of neuroblastoma originating from the urinary bladder.
A 3-year-old girl presented with lower abdominal pain with micturition. Ultrasound revealed a lower abdominal mass. Abdominal computed tomography scan displayed a solitary mass at the top of the urinary bladder. Blood levels of neuron-specific enolase and lactate dehydrogenase were elevated. We treated the child with partial cystectomy and six courses of chemotherapy, and the outcome at 4-year follow-up was unremarkable.
Neuroblastoma should be considered when tumors are located in the urinary bladder, especially in the dome; although this presentation is rare, the prognosis is very good.
神经母细胞瘤是儿童期一种颅外恶性肿瘤,最常位于肾上腺和交感神经节。在此,我们报告一例罕见的起源于膀胱的神经母细胞瘤病例。
一名3岁女孩出现排尿时下腹部疼痛。超声检查发现下腹部有一肿块。腹部计算机断层扫描显示膀胱顶部有一个孤立性肿块。神经元特异性烯醇化酶和乳酸脱氢酶的血液水平升高。我们对该患儿进行了部分膀胱切除术和六个疗程的化疗,4年随访结果无异常。
当肿瘤位于膀胱,尤其是膀胱顶部时,应考虑神经母细胞瘤;尽管这种表现罕见,但预后非常好。
