Abstract
A child who has an acutely irritable hip with septic picture can pose a diagnostic challenge. Although neuroblastomas are rare in children, symptoms may substantially overlap in the acute setting makes differentiation difficult. In this case report we have outlined the importance of clinical and radiological findings in two cases presented with extraabdominal neuroblastoma and the pitfalls in making the correct diagnosis. The purpose of this pictorial report is to increase awareness of orthopaedic surgeons of the possible presentation of this common childhood malignancy and deliver early prompt diagnosis.
