Unusual pulmonary metastasis of neuroblastoma: a case report.
A case of unusual pulmonary metastasis of neuroblastoma in an 8-year-old girl is presented. Nodular opacities mimicking pulmonary tuberculosis first appeared in lung apices on chest radiographs. They subsequently developed into extensive consolidations with mediastinal involvement. Metastasis of neuroblastoma was confirmed at autopsy.
