Abstract

The association between neuroblastic tumours and congenital heart disease is widely confirmed in the literature references. The authors describe a case of a patient with congenital heart disease, high blood pressure, renal artery stenosis and high levels in 24 hours urine metanephrines. A MIBG-I-123 scintigraphy was essential for the diagnosis of neuroblastic tumour.
