Aggressive Neuroblastoma in a Pediatric Patient with Severe Hemophilia A

Despite the extensive information regarding hemophilia's hemorrhagic complications, the literature on cancer in hemophilia is scarce, especially in pediatric patients. Many uncertainties remain concerning diagnosis and workup. We report a rare case of two severe diseases (neuroblastoma and hemophilia A (HA)) concomitantly present in the same pediatric patient. We highlight that the diagnosis of severe HA did not have a negative impact on the patient's oncologic course. This case also illustrates the significance of the cooperation among different specialties and hospitals when caring for the same patient.
