Neuroblastoma is a common tumor of childhood, usually occurring in children under 4 years of age [1]. We report a case of a 10-year old child who initially presented with a large calvarial mass representing a solitary site of metastasis from an occult adrenal neuroblastoma. The sunburst pattern of the calvarial metastasis noted in this case is rarely seen with neuroblastoma. The age of our patient, solitary focus of metastasis at presentation, and imaging appearance of the tumor are very uncommon findings of neuroblastoma.
神经母细胞瘤是儿童期常见的肿瘤，通常发生于4岁以下儿童[1]。我们报告一例10岁儿童，最初表现为巨大的颅骨肿块，是隐匿性肾上腺神经母细胞瘤的孤立转移灶。该病例中颅骨转移灶呈现的日光放射状表现，在神经母细胞瘤中很少见。我们患者的年龄、就诊时转移灶为孤立性以及肿瘤的影像学表现，都是神经母细胞瘤非常罕见的特征。
