Abstract
We present the case of a 3-year-old child with neuroblastoma metastatic to the bone marrow. [123I]MIBG total body scintigraphy revealed a diffuse pattern of intense fixation throughout the skeleton. This was analogous to the "super scan" described with 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy when extensive metastatic or metabolic bone disease is present. Essentially, a high bone-to-soft tissue ratio was found without uptake in the liver, kidney and bladder, owing to a "steal" mechanism caused by the avid bone metastases.Entities:
