RESUMEN

Neuroblastoma, a prevalent extracranial solid tumor commonly afflicting pediatric patients, exhibits a diverse spectrum of clinical presentations. Preseptal cellulitis, a childhood infectious ailment, typically demonstrates a favorable response to conservative antibiotic therapy. In this report, we present the case of a two-year-old female child with refractory preseptal cellulitis, ultimately leading to an unforeseen diagnosis of neuroblastoma. Early radiological assessment upon the onset of preseptal cellulitis serves the dual purpose of excluding severe complications and uncovering latent, rare pathologies when the initial antibiotic regimen proves ineffective.
