Sumario:Neuroblastoma is a common embryonic tumor presenting in childhood. Improving treatment protocols which include a combination of chemotherapy, surgical resection, hematopoietic stem cell rescue, and radiation therapy have tremendously improved outcomes. Childhood survivors are at risk of developing lesions which may mimic metastases. It is essential to accurately diagnose these due to its prognostic implications.
