What is Neuroblastoma?
Neuroblastoma is a type of cancer that develops from immature nerve cells called neuroblasts. It typically originates in the adrenal glands (located above the kidneys) but can also occur in the neck, chest, abdomen, or spine. It is the most common cancer in children under the age of 5 and can sometimes be present at birth.
Symptoms of Neuroblastoma
Symptoms vary depending on the tumor’s location and spread but may include:
Abdominal lump or swelling
Unexplained weight loss
Fatigue or irritability
Bone pain or limping
Fever
Dark circles under the eyes
High blood pressure
Difficulty breathing or swallowing (if in chest or neck)
Paralysis (in cases affecting the spinal cord)
Neuroblastoma may also produce hormones that lead to symptoms such as uncontrolled eye movements or sweating.
