“…Thoracic solid masses were described by De Filipi et al [2] and Estroff et al [3] in 1 case each. Jaffa et al [6] were the first to mention findings in the liver. Suresh et al [19] diagnosed a cerebral neuroblastoma confirmed by biopsy.…”

“…De Filipi et al [2] and Ferraro et al [4] observed that the masses grew during pregnancy. In 1 case, Jaffa et al [6] described calcification of the liver, abnormal growth of the fetal abdomen, and a prenatal hydrocele. Postnatally, these findings appeared to be metastases of a neuroblastoma of the thoracic sympathicus.…”

“…Neither placental metastasis nor hydrops placentae were observed in the current cases. Retrospectively, the abnormalities seen in the liver of a single case, described by Jaffa et al [6], were liver metastases. Prenatal diagnosis of fetal liver metastases of neuroblastoma of the suprarenal gland was described by Liyanage and Katoch [15].…”

Prenatal Diagnosis of Congenital Neuroblastoma

Objective: Advances in prenatal diagnostics during the last 10 years have enabled the examiner to detect even rare fetal disorders such as fetal tumours. Congenital neuroblastoma is the most frequent solid neoplasm in infancy, with a retroperitoneal cystic or solid mass being a sonographic sign of the conditions. Methods: We present 4 cases of neuroblastoma showing suspicious prenatal ultrasound findings. The investigation comprises detection during pregnancy, typical sonographic signs, as well as the postnatal outcome. In addition, a review of the literature is undertaken with a focus on prenatal sonographic signs of congenital neuroblastomas. Results: In all 4 cases, a cystic tumour was detected during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy by means of B-mode sonography. One boy died of disseminated metastases at the age of 26 months. The other 3 survived after surgery and have remained healthy. Conclusions: The detection of a cystic suprarenal mass is suspicious of a congenital neuroblastoma. The delivery should take place at a perinatal centre.

“…In neonates, US can depict intraspinal components of neuroblastoma [30]. Presently, there is also a role for US in the prenatal diagnosis of neuroblastoma [12,18,19,23,24,26,32]. Diculties occasionally occur in the dierential diagnosis of nephroblastoma (Wilms tumour) [8,27,30].…”

Abstract In a retrospective study we evaluated the agreement between the results of meta-iodo benzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy and abdominal ultrasonography (US) in the diagnosis and follow up of neuroblastoma (NBL) with respect to the abdominal region. Data of 28 consecutive paediatric patients with NBL or suspected NBL were included (16 M/12 F, mean age 2.9 years, range 3 weeks ± 13.4 years). The results (as judged by the nuclear physician or radiologist, respectively) of 60 MIBG examinations ( 123 I and 131 I, including 26 single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)) and US, respectively, performed within a period of 14 days, could be evaluated. Full agreement was reached in 37 comparisons (62%), while partial and no agreement was found in 17 (28%), and 6 (10%) comparisons, respectively. In 8 out of 37 comparisons with full agreement, 12 diagnosed lesions were histopathologically proven, while 11 comparisons with negative ®ndings were also negative in other clinical modalities. US diagnosed correctly in 68% of the histopathological proven lesions, while this was 54% for MIBG scintigraphy. In approximately 50% of the MIBG scans in which SPECT was available, SPECT provided signi®cant additional information.Conclusion Congruent results of MIBG scintigraphy and ultrasonography in the detection of abdominal lesions in patients with suspected neuroblastoma indicate a high reliability in the diagnosis and localisation. Due to the favourable results of additional SPECT, it is advisable to perform SPECT routinely in this diagnosis.Abbreviations NBL neuroblastoma á MIBG metaiodobenzylguanidine á SPECT single photon emission computed...
