Abstract
The long-term survival of three children with disseminated skeletal metastases due to neuroblastoma is reported. These three patients are added to eight other patients reported in the literature who have survived longer than 2 years after the development of their metastatic osseous lesions. A review of the cases did not reveal a specific treatment regime which provided the success in these cases. The presence of skeletal involvement, therefore, should not indicate a hopeless prognosis. A review of 33 patients with neuroblastoma at the University of Minnesota from 1956-1966 is also given to provide overall survival data.
