Abstract:
A 6-year-old girl with high-risk neuroblastoma underwent a I-MIBG scan to monitor the disease status. In addition to the known lesion in the right retroperitoneal region, there were additional foci of increased activity in the right upper quadrate of the abdomen, which were not typical bowel activity. SPECT/CT images located the activity in the cortex of the lower pole of the right kidney, which was partially calcified. Subsequent biopsy confirmed neuroblastoma metastasis to the right kidney, which is extremely rare.
