OBJECTIVE: To describe a cervical neuroblastoma revealed in the prenatal period. METHOD: We were recently confronted with a case of fetal solid neck mass suggestive of teratoma, which proved postnatally to be a neuroblastoma. Combining this case with a review of recent literature, we have evaluated the diagnostic tools required for increased precision in the prenatal diagnosis and perinatal management of fetal solid neck masses. RESULTS: Detailed ultrasound and MRI of fetal neck and liver, in conjunction with amniocentesis for measurement of homovanillic acid levels, should enable fetal medical practitioners to consider the diagnosis of fetal cervical neuroblastoma. CONCLUSION: Fetal cervical neuroblastoma is an extremely rare condition that has not been previously reported, but should be considered in the presentation of fetal solid neck masses. |
