Overview
On plain radiography neuroblastoma is characterized by an intraabdominal or intrathoracic soft tissue mass. Other findings of neuroblastoma on plain radiography include calcification and remodelling of surrounding bony structures.[1]
X Ray
- On plain radiography neuroblastoma is characterized by:[1]
- Intraabdominal or intrathoracic soft tissue mass
- Calcification
- Remodelling of the surrounding ribs
- Remodelling of the surrounding vertebral bodies
- Thinning of the surrounding pedicles
- Skeltal metastasis may be observed as an ill-defined metaphyseal lucent bone lesions associated with a periosteal reaction.
