Infantile Neuroblastoma: A Long Term Follow-up and its Significance in Pediatric Malignancy

Ranjit Kumar, Laura Watson, Amila Willington

Infantile neuroblastoma is a rare but significant pediatric malignancy arising from neural crest cells. This case report presents the diagnosis, management and prognosis of a 14-month-old male infant diagnosed with infantile neuroblastoma. The report emphasizes the importance of prompt diagnosis, multidisciplinary management and longterm follow-up in achieving favorable outcomes for patients with this condition. Continued research and innovation are critical in advancing our understanding of neuroblastoma biology and improving therapeutic outcomes for affected children. Liver Transplantation (LT) is the only lifesaving option. The etiology is indeterminate in almost 50% cases. Recurrent ALF with intermittent complete recovery may be caused by infections.
