A 4-year-old boy with fever and abdominal pain was found to have left basal hypoventilation on physical examination. Chest x-ray showed a homogeneous density of the lower left lung. Corresponding computed tomography demonstrated a left adrenal mass extending to the chest with calcifications on contrast enhancement. I-123 MIBG was performed for tumor characterization and the histology revealed a neuroblastoma.
