Abstract
A child with neuroblastoma metastatic to the skin is reported. A review of the literature revealed that neuroblastoma and leukemia are the neoplasms most frequently associated with cutaneous metastases in children and adolescents. The low incidence of these lesions and their high malignant potential are two important factors that emphasize the pivotal role the dermatologist plays in prompt diagnosis and early referral.
