| Abstract: | Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial neoplasm of childhood. Although it most commonly occurs in the adrenal gland, it may be found anywhere along the sympathetic chain. The characteristic clinical and imaging features of neuroblastoma are discussed in this article. Less common neoplasms of the adrenal gland, adenoma, adrenocortical carcinoma, and pheochromocytoma are also discussed. |
