Overview
X ray findings of neuroblastoma include; intrathoracic or intraabdominal soft tissue mass, calcification, remodeling of surrounding ribs & vertebral bodies, thinning of surrounding pedicles and ill defined, metaphyseal, lucent bone lesions seen in metastases.
X Ray
- An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of neuroblastoma. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of neuroblastoma:[1][2][3][4]
- 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.
