Abstract
Introduction: Neuroblastoma is the solid tumor more frequent in the infancy, although, his cervical location is rare. It may present as a asymptomatic mass or produce stridor, dyspnea o difficulty in swallowing. Description: Patient of a one month old, male reporting inspiratory stridor. RM showed a mass compatible with an unilocular cystic lymphatic malformation in right carotid and prevertebral spaces with airway compromise. The definitive diagnosis was of neuroblastoma after surgical excision. Discussion: In RM neuroblastoma and lymphatic malformations present similar patterns. This case shows the importance of a correct differential diagnosis and approach of cervical masses in newborns.Keywords
