Cystic neuroblastoma in infants: radiographic and pathologic features

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 1986 Jan;146(1):113-7. doi: 10.2214/ajr.146.1.113.

Abstract

Cystic neuroblastoma is a rare form of neuroblastoma. Three cases of cystic neuroblastoma in the infant are reported with emphasis on the sonographic findings. In two cases, the tumor was demonstrated in the fetus. The pathologic features of the tumors are described. Development of cysts may be related to a prominent microcystic arrangement of tumor nests.
