[Ultrasonic diagnosis of neuroblastoma].
Neuroblastoma is one of the most frequent tumors in childhood. Suprarenal area is its main abdominal location, appearing in lesser proportion in paravertebral ganglionar chains. Its prediction depends principally on the age of the patient and the pathological stage. US are the best method for its diagnosis. Its most frequent appearance is as an hyperechogenic heterogeneous mass with calcifications inside. In evaluation tumoral extension, other complementary methods such as CT and MRI should be used.
