Abstract
Neuroblastoma is the most commonly occurring solid tumor in children. Most of these
neoplasms are diagnosed within the first few years of life. The diagnosis of neuroblastoma
may be difficult because of its ability to arise in different locations, its propensity
to metastasize, and variable clinical signs and symptoms. Therefore, accurate and
timely pathologic diagnosis is imperative. Herein, we present the rare description
of an angiomatoid neuroblastoma. Only 1 other case has been previously reported.
