Abstract
A 5-year-old girl diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma enrolled in our clinical trial underwent 18 F-MFBG PET/CT, showing multiple discrete focal "hot spots." Bone marrow aspiration confirmed metastatic neuroblastoma involvement. After 5 cycles of immunotherapy and chemotherapy, follow-up 18 F-MFBG PET/CT revealed a marked shift in biodistribution: the multiple discrete focal "hot spots" pattern resolved, and diffuse and intense skeletal tracer uptake-consistent with a superscan pattern emerged-including both newly developed lesions-indicative of progressive disease. The present case showed the temporal evolution of 18 F-MFBG uptake from multiple focal "hot spots" to a superscan.
