  Ganglioneuroblastoma is a rare variety of neuroblastic tumor that occurs almost exclusively in pediatric patients. More than 90% of the patients present high levels of catecholamines and their metabolites in urine. We present the case of a four year-old patient who was diagnosed to have ganglioneuroblastoma, in which the determination of urinary catecholamines was an important tool for diagnosis due to their sensitivity, specificity, promptness and low cost.
