We present a case of metastatic neuroblastoma to the mandible in an 11-month-old patient presenting with worsening right-sided proptosis and scalp swelling after a fall 2 weeks prior. Initial evaluation with computed tomography of the head demonstrated soft tissue masses centered at the right sphenoid and right mandible. These masses proved to be metastatic lesions from an intra-abdominal neuroblastoma. Review of the literature revealed 20 cases of neuroblastoma metastasis to the mandible over the past 70 years. To our knowledge, our patient is the youngest reported case with asymptomatic mandibular metastasis related to neuroblastoma and the first to be characterized with magnetic resonance imaging.
