Patient's question:
My daughter has recently been sitting in the corner and not answering my questions. When I asked her what was wrong, she said her stomach and that her stomach was much larger than before. My friend said it could be a negative neuroblastoma in children. What does a negative neuroblastoma in children mean?Doctor's answer:
This is a common substantive tumor. Neuroblastoma in children originates from the adrenal medulla or sympathetic nervous system, while negative means no brain tumor. Neuroblastoma in children is negative, and the sympathetic nervous chain and adrenal medulla are the most common primary sites. Many neuroblastomas produce catecholamines, and the concentration of catecholamine metabolites in the urine of affected children can be detected. Neuroblastoma in children is negative and neuroblastoma does not have a benign tumor.
