Neuroblastoma of the thoracic spine in an adult: a case report

Abstract

Neuroblastoma (NB) in the adults is extremely rare. Even less encountered is NB involving the adult spine with only a few reported cases. Because of its rarity, there are as yet no well-established treatment guidelines for NB in the adults. Treatment strategies, therefore, are often extrapolated from paediatric data. We report a case of a 51-year-old man with NB involving the thoracic spine who had surgical excision with a good postoperative outcome in the short term.
