We present a rare case of bone metastatic Neuroblastoma without a diagnosis of an identifiable primary lesion in a 16-year-old patient who presented with intermittent right knee pain and soft tissue swelling for 7 months. Initial radiologic examinations revealed a primary bone tumor in the distal metaphyseal-diaphyseal region of the femur, and a follow-up CT of the chest, abdomen, and/or pelvis revealed no evidence of a solid mass. The first bone biopsy provided inconclusive results, leading to a misdiagnosed osteosarcoma. The revisiting from St. Jude children's research hospital concluded metastasis from a Neuroblastoma. The patient was subsequently classified into the high-risk group and given standard treatment.
我们报告了一例罕见的骨转移性神经母细胞瘤病例,该病例为一名16岁患者,出现间歇性右膝疼痛和软组织肿胀7个月,此前未诊断出可识别的原发性病变。最初的放射学检查显示股骨远端干骺端-骨干区域存在原发性骨肿瘤,胸部、腹部和/或骨盆的后续CT检查未发现实体肿块的迹象。首次骨活检结果不明确,导致误诊为骨肉瘤。圣裘德儿童研究医院复诊后确诊为神经母细胞瘤转移。该患者随后被归类为高危组并接受了标准治疗。
