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.

X Ray

• On plain radiography neuroblastoma is characterized by:

• Intraabdominal or intrathoracic soft tissue mass
• Calcification
• Remodeling of the surrounding ribs
• Remodeling of the surrounding vertebral bodies
• Thinning of the surrounding pedicles
• Skeletal metastasis may be observed as ill-defined, metaphyseal, lucent bone lesions associated with a periosteal reaction.
