Abstract
The neuroblastoma is the second most common childhood malignant tumor. The diagnosis of most abdominal or mediastinal tumors is done as a rule with X-ray, CT, or ultrasound, yet the type can normally only be determined by taking a tissue sample. In an early examination, a third of the children older than 1 year show the disseminated form with distant metastases and often a diffuse bone/bone marrow infestation.
