Concurrent Adrenal Neuroblastoma and Kawasaki Disease: A Report of aRare Case

Adrenocortical Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology and aleading cause of acquired heart disease. It is assumed that there is an activation of the immunesystem by an infectious trigger in a genetically susceptible host. Neuroblastoma is the mostcommon extracranial solid tumor in young children. It mainly originates from primordial neuralcrest cells that generate the adrenal medulla and sympathetic ganglia. A diagnosis of concurrentKD and neuroblastoma in a living child has been made in only one previous report. We reportthe second case and review the literature.
