Neuroblastoma: A Case of Massive Hepatomegaly.

2021 
Neuroblastoma is the most common embryonal tumor of childhood and has a variable presentation. Stage 4S neuroblastoma, described as a localized primary tumor in an infant with metastasis to skin, liver, or bone marrow, is an exception to the poor prognosis seen in widespread metastasis of neuroblastoma. Survival in infants with this stage of the disease is over 90%. Stage 4S with massive liver involvement, however, confers a poor prognosis. We need more research on the optimum treatment modality for patients with Stage 4S disease and massive hepatomegaly to improve patient outcomes.
