Adrenal neuroblastoma in adult: case report

Adult adrenal neuroblastoma is an extremely rare malignancy, accounting for less than 1% of neuroblastoma cases. We report the case of a 27-year-old male with a right adrenal mass, diagnosed as poorly differentiated neuroblastoma. Despite adrenalectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy, the disease metastasized to retroperitoneal lymph-nodes and liver, leading to death from neoplastic progression. This report highlights the rarity, diagnostic complexity and poor prognosis of adult adrenal neuroblastoma.
