Whole-body scintigraphy with 131I-meta-iodo-benzylguanidine 131I-MIBG) was performed in 41 patients with neuroblastoma. In patients with clinical remission no pathological concentration of 131I-MIBG was found. In 30 patients with residual, recurrent or metastatic disease neuroblastoma was correctly localized by 131I-MIBG scintigraphy. It is concluded that 131I-MIBG whole-body scintigraphy is useful in the diagnosis and follow-up of neuroblastoma.
A 4-year-old boy with a short history of jaundice and hepatomegaly was studied by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC). A large obstructing choledochal tumour was found at the level of cystic duct insertion and at surgery, a botryoid sarcoma was removed. Subsequent cytotoxic therapy was complicated by persistent dilatation of the extrahepatic bile ducts which necessitated eventual excision. There was no evidence of persistent tumour.
