The computed tomographic appearance of subcutaneous nodules occurring in metastatic neuroblastoma.
The authors report a case of subcutaneous nodules in a 2-month-old girl with metastatic neuroblastoma; the appearance of the nodules in computed tomography scans is described. Such nodules are sometimes overlooked by clinicians and radiologists, even though they almost always occur in disseminated disease. In patients with neuroblastoma and other neoplasms subcutaneous nodules may be an easily accessible source of samples for histopathologic examination.
