Abstract

The differential diagosis of masses in the suprarenal area in neonates is discussed in relation to clinical, laboratory and radiologic findings. Neonatal adrenal hemorrhage can be accurately diagnosed clinically. In the neonate neuroblastoma in situ is self-limiting and exploration to exclude it is unnecessary. Operative intervention should be reserved for controlling massive adrenal hemorrhage or if an abscess forms.
