Özet

Neuroblastoma is one of the most common solid tumors in childhood, particularly in the first year of life. Distant metastases play an important part in the staging of this disorder. Metastatic liver disease in cases of neuroblastoma is considered to be a sign of advanced disease. We describe liver capsule and peritoneal involvement in a 3year-old female with adrenal gland neuroblastoma. To the best of our knowledge, this involvement is the first reported case in the English literature.
