Abstract

Neuroblastoma accounts for a significant portion of childhood tumors and can present in a variety of ways. Pelvic neuroblastoma has been reported but few cases exist of neuroblastoma invading or originating from the bladder or prostate. We present a 4-year-old patient with pelvic neuroblastoma arising from the prostate and describe the medical and surgical management of this challenging case. While pelvic neuroblastoma may have an improved prognosis, this case demonstrates the challenging surgical decisions that accompany these patients to maintain quality of life while balancing oncologic efficacy of treatment.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no affiliations with or involvement in any organization or entity with any financial interest in the subject matter or materials discussed in this manuscript.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
