    Abstract:
    Cervical neuroblastoma is relatively rare and shows very good prognosis. We reported a case of surgically resected cervico-mediastinal neuroblastoma. A 7-month-old boy was pointed out to have Horner syndrome (right ptosis and anhidrosis) and an abnormal shadow at right cervico-mediastinum on chest X-ray film during his stay in another hospital because of acute bronchitis. On examination after admission in our hospital, 3 x 4 cm size mass was palpated at the right neck and urine VMA and HVA level were elevated. The close examination demonstrated no sign of tumor in any other organ and tissue, which suggested that the tumor was cervical origin. 9 x 5, 5 x 3 cm tumor was almost removed and patient received chemotherapy. He is now free from disease at 1 year after operation.
