https://doi.org/10.17650/2311-1267-2015-2-4-91-97

Abstract

In this paper describes a clinical case of neuroblastoma (NB) retroperitoneal space with a massive invasion of the renal parenchyma in a child of 4 years. We discuss the relevance of timely differential diagnosis of Wilms tumor and NB, germinating in the kidney, as well as primary intrarenal NB. Literature data concerning the tactics of the differential diagnosis based on clinical symptoms and results of laboratory and instrumental methods of research.
