Abstract

ABSTRACT Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial malignant solid tumor in childhood. Neuroblastoma is known to metastasize in certain niche areas such as the bone, bone marrow, liver, and skin. Testicular metastasis of neuroblastoma is uncommon, and only a few cases have been reported. In this communique, we describe an infant with neuroblastoma presenting with testicular metastasis. Testicular metastasis of neuroblastoma, although uncommon, should be considered a differential of testicular masses in children.
