Continuous Superscan on 123I-MIBG Scintigraphy in a Pediatric Patient With Neuroblastoma

Key Points

To assess the imaging characteristics of 123I-MIBG scintigraphy in a pediatric neuroblastoma patient over time.
Conducted 123I-MIBG scintigraphy for disease staging post-surgery.
Monitored imaging results across multiple treatment cycles.
Evaluated distribution patterns of radiotracer uptake.
Initial MIBG scan showed diffuse uptake across skeletal regions indicating superscan pattern.
All subsequent scans maintained similar radiotracer distribution, confirming persistent superscan characteristics.

Abstract

A 7-year-old girl diagnosed with neuroblastoma underwent 123I-MIBG scintigraphy for disease staging following surgery. The scan revealed diffuse uptake of MIBG throughout nearly all skeletal regions, with absence of radiotracer accumulation in the salivary glands, liver, and bladder-findings consistent with a superscan pattern. Following multiple treatment cycles, the patient completed 3 subsequent MIBG scans, all demonstrating a similar distribution of radiotracer, persistently indicative of MIBG superscan.
