Overview
CT scan is the investigation of choice for the diagnosis of neuroblastoma.[1] On CT scan, neuroblastoma is characterized by a heterogeneous, calcified, and necrotic mass, that may encase surrounding vessels or invade surrounding tissues.[2]
CT scan
- CT scan is the investigation of choice for the diagnosis of neuroblastoma.[1]
- On CT scan, neuroblastoma is characterized by:[2]
- Heterogeneous mass
- Calcification
- Necrosis
- Compression of the surrounding vessels
- Invasion of the psoas muscle or kidneys
- Swollen lymph nodes
