Abstract

In the follow-up of metastatic neuroblastoma mIBG scintigraphy represents the very diagnostic method. A case report of a child with a metastatic recurrence of neuroblastoma is given. Despite clear scintigraphic visualisation serum parameters remained negative. The role of additional bone scintigraphy is inconclusive even retrospectively.
