Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) related to standard dose chemotherapy has rarely been described. We report on a case of localized ganglioneuroblastoma treated by carboplatin/etoposide for 2 courses and surgery, which developed a serious GHD after 56 months. At present, the child is growing on by GH replacement therapy. We discuss about the hypothesis that GHD may be related to chemotherapy and we report a review of previous published cases.
