Abstract
Neuroblastoma is one of the pediatric cancers that has the most unpredictable evolution. It can metastasize to almost any organ, but intrarenal metastases have never been reported. We report 2 such cases: the first patient had a left adrenal neuroblastoma completely resected 10 months before routine follow up ultrasound and CT scan demonstrated 3 right intrarenal metastases. The second patient was being investigated for a left abdominal mass when one left intrarenal metastasis was found during the same CT scan. An intrarenal mass found during investigation for staging or follow up of neuroblastoma should then be considered as a metastase until proven otherwise.Entities:
