Utility of FDG-PET/CT in the follow-up of neuroblastoma which became MIBG-negative.
We report on the case of a 10-month-old female infant with a metastatic neuroblastoma which became MIBG-negative at time of relapse. We discuss the different hypothesis associated with this particular outcome, and the potential utility of FDG-PET as an alternative to follow up the residual disease at this stage.
