【 摘 要 】

Neuroblastoma is a cancer of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system, derived from embryonic neural crest cells and is one of the few cancers known to undergo spontaneous regression from an undifferentiated state to a benign tumour. It generally arises in the adrenalmedulla or sympathetic chain in a child. Metastasis of neuroblastoma occurs mainly through lymphatic and haematogenous routes. This case report is that of a male child who presented only with cervical lymph node enlargement and histopathological examination diagnosed the lesion as neuroblastoma secondaries to cervical lymph node.
