Summary
The uptake of I-131 MIBG in neuroblastoma is well-established in imaging studies. I-131 MIBG scintigraphy of a patient with neuroblastoma illustrated ''doughnut'' appearance, which is a well-recognized bone scan finding mostly in giant-cell tumor of bone. This finding was probably caused by central necrosis and hemorrhage, and surrounding viable tumor tissue.
