Case Details
Disease Location
Retroperitoneum neuro blastoma
Personal Characteristics
11-month-old girl, history of dilated cardiomyopathy.
Clinical Characteristics
2 day history of abdominal mass demonstrated in pe. It was a hard mass palpable in the right abdomen. CT showed mass shadows of retroperitoneal lobulated soft tissue with a maximum cross-section of 93 mm × 82 mm. 3d imaging showed that the tumour volume was 193.6 ml, and part of the boundary was infiltrating, with lesions surrounding the major retroperitoneal vessels such as the inferior vena cava, renal artery, renal vein, and abdominal aorta. Tumour biopsy specimens were diagnosed as nb and bone marrow biopsy results suggested that the patient should be staged as iii nb.
Remission Characteristics
Abdominal b-ultrasound re-examination after 2 months showed that the retroperitoneal tumour volume was approximately 46 mm × 52 mm × 46 mm, which was significantly smaller than before.
Treatment & Mechanisms
Clinical Treatment
Bone marrow biopsy, mass biopsy
