Neuroblastoma is the most common extra cranial solid tumour in childhood and in infancy, but it is a rare fetal tumour, especially on neck region. Approximately, two thirds of the cases arise from adrenal gland and presentation of other localizations is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of cervical Neuroblastoma suspected at 20th gestational week. This is the fourth case detected on prenatal ultrasound on neck region and these cases that is identified in the second trimester fetal anatomy screening.
