Concurrent Adrenal Neuroblastoma and Kawasaki Disease : A Report of a Rare Case

الملخص EN

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology and a leading cause of acquired heart disease.

It is assumed that there is an activation of the immune system by an infectious trigger in a genetically susceptible host.

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in young children.

It mainly originates from primordial neural crest cells that generate the adrenal medulla and sympathetic ganglia.

A diagnosis of concurrent KD and neuroblastoma in a living child has been made in only one previous report.

We report the second case and review the literature.
