This type of tumor in a very young child is a rare eve nt and poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for the atte nding physician. In this case, the diagnosis was made by a computed tomogra phy scan with subsequent histological confirmation. The differential diagno ses and therapeutic options are discussed.
