Elevated 123I-MIBG Activity in Intramuscular Hemangioma

A 3-year-old boy with high-risk neuroblastoma underwent 123I-MIBG scan to evaluate the disease status after surgery and chemotherapy. 123I-MIBG SPECT/CT demonstrated liver metastasis. In addition, mildly increased uptake in the inferior left erector spinae was noted. Contrast-enhanced CT suggested intramuscular hemangioma. The 123I-MIBG accumulation in the intramuscular hemangioma persisted during the follow-up scan, whereas the abnormal activity in the liver was resolved.
