ABSTRACT

Introduction: the anomalies of adrenal glands are rarely detected during prenatal life, they can be observed on the second half of pregnancy, cysts and hemorrhages are the most frequent anomalies found; solid tumors are rare. Though, ultrasonographic advances make possible the intrauterine detection, its prenatal diagnosis is not frequent. This kind of tumor presents a high rate of morbidity and mortality due to its metastatic risk.
A case report: a fetal ultrasonography to a twin pregnancy at 23 weeks was performed and informed as a normal test, but a solid hyper-echogenic mass was detected above the left kidney of one of the fetus.
Conclusions: a neuroblastoma of the adrenal gland was the main diagnosis. Pregnancy was interrupted having the previous consent of the couple, pathological studies confirmed the diagnosis.
