  • Title: Neuroblastoma presenting clinically as hip osteomyelitis: a "signature" diagnosis on skeletal scintigraphy.
    Author: Applegate K, Connolly LP, Treves ST.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 1995 Nov; 25 Suppl 1():S93-6. PubMed ID: 8577566.
    Abstract:
    At their initial emergency room presentation, four children were thought to have hip osteomyelitis. Skeletal scintigraphy, however, demonstrated multiple areas of abnormal tracer uptake in the bones in all four, and in three there was abnormal uptake in a soft tissue abdominal mass. The skeletal scintigraphic findings promptly led to the correct diagnosis of neuroblastoma.
