Abstract

Resection of an unknown neck mass in a 6-year-old child triggered acute left-sided heart failure and pulmonary edema. The lesion was confirmed as neuroblastoma by postoperative tissue examination. Such tumors regularly synthesize and secrete catecholamines, warranting caution in advance of surgical manipulation.

Resumo

A ressecção de uma massa cervical desconhecida em uma criança de 6 anos de idade desencadeou insuficiência cardíaca esquerda aguda e edema pulmonar. A lesão foi
confirmada como neuroblastoma pelo exame de tecido pós-operatório. Esses tumores regularmente sintetizam e secretam catecolaminas, garantindo cautela antes da manipulação
cirúrgica.
