Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings of Bilateral Cystic Neuroblastoma: Case Report of a Very Rare Entity

Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common solid tumor seen in children under two years old. It has both solid and cystic forms. It generally involves the adrenal gland unilaterally. Only 10% of the NBs are as seen bilateral. Both bilateral and cystic forms of NB are a very rare entity. Magnetic resonanc...

description Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common solid tumor seen in children under two years old. It has both solid and cystic forms. It generally involves the adrenal gland unilaterally. Only 10% of the NBs are as seen bilateral. Both bilateral and cystic forms of NB are a very rare entity. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a suitable imaging modality for evaluating lesions radiologically to avoid ionizing radiation exposure in children. Herein, we present the MRI findings of a bilateral cystic NB case.
