[Adrenal neuroblastoma in adults: a rare neoplasm of difficult diagnostic interpretation. A case report]. / Il neuroblastoma del surrene nell'adulto: una rara neoplasia di difficile interpretazione diagnostica. Contributo casistico.

ABSTRACT

A case of a 25-year old girl, affected by an adrenal neoplasia with bone marrow and splenic metastases, is reported. The site of the neoplasm, that was highly undifferentiated, the presence of rosette-forming cells along with the clinical picture and the rapidity of the final outcome, could suggest the diagnosis of neuroblastoma. However we stress that the diagnosis is very difficult and can only be stated on probability bases in such undifferentiated neoplasms.
