We have experienced a case of infantile nephrotic syndrome confirmed by renal biopsy in a 13-month-old female patient who showed growth and develop mental retardation and persistent proteinuria. She revealed mild eyelid edema, joint laxity, delayed speech development and adrenal cortical calcification on the radiologic study. Renal biopsy showed microcystic tubular change, micro-glomeruli and marked mesangial proliferation.

Objective: To investigate the differential features of CT images in children with neuroblastomas (N) and ganglioneuroblastomas (G). Materials and Methods: Clinical data of 12 children in group G and 15 in group N undergoing CT examination and definitely diagnosed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed. The focal conditions were observed and compared in the two groups, including location, size, boundaries, morphology, enhanced degree and mode, abdominal vascular involvement, presence or absence of spanning the midline, infiltration of peripheral organs, angiography manifestations in tumors or surroundings, presence or absence of calcification and vascular tumor emboli as well as metastases of distal organs and lymph nodes. Results: In group N, the incidence of tumors in the adrenal area was conspicuously higher than in group G (P<0.05), while that of tumors with regular morphology and clear boundaries was significantly lower than in group G (P<0.01); Angiography manifestation rate and incidences of vascular embedding, lymph node metastasis, infiltration and organic metastasis in group N were all markedly higher than in group G (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance between the two groups in terms of focal size, presence or absence of calcification and spanning the midline, and enhanced degree and mode, as well as vascular tumor emboli (P>0.05). Conclusions: Mostly located in adrenal areas and with vascular embedding as a primary manifestation, the neuroblastoma extremely readily metastases to lymph nodes and other organs as well as infiltrating local tissues, with dilation on angiography frequent in or around the tumors. With vascular displacement as a primary manifestation, ganglioneuroblastoma has a regular morphology and clear boundaries.

1986년부터 1995년까지의 10년간 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원에서 절제술이나 세침 생검을 시행하여 조직 병리학적으로 확진된 신경아세포종 23례 중 전산화단층촬영을 시행한 16례를 대상으로 후향적으로 분석한 결과 신경아세포종은 소아에서 많이 발생하며, 부신에서 호발하고, 임상적인 주 증상은 만져지는 종괴였다. 전산화단층촬영소견은 과반수 이상에서 작고 고밀도이거나 곡선 모양의 석회화를 보이며, 중앙선을 침범하며, 분엽상의 모양과 분명한 경계를 보이고, 내부에 낭성 변화를 보이며, 불균등한 조영 양상을 보이고, 주위 중요 혈관과 림프절을 침범한 소견을 보였다. 이와 같은 전산화 단층촬영소견들은 소아 복부 종양에서 신경아세포종의 진단과 감별에 도움을 줄것으로 생각된다.
