Abstract
Neuroblastoma is the most common solid tumor in newborn and the most common extracranial tumor in infancy. Common site for tumor is abdominal, however it could be arises from paraspinal area of the sympathetic nervous system and account for 11 to 26% of all neuroblastoma cases. Thoracic neuroblastoma (TNBL) has a relatively favourable prognosis and better outcome then neuroblastoma arising in other area.
