Overview

Ultrasound in the neuroblastoma shows heterogeneous solid masses due to vascular, necrotic and calcified content of the masses. When it is present in the adrenal, it displaces the kidneys inferiorly.

Echocardiography/Ultrasound

Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of neuroblastoma. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of neuroblastoma include:[1][2]
