b. Regional lymph nodes
c. Bone marrow
d. Cortical bone Liver
Neuroblastoma metastasizes to both regional lymph nodes and distant sites, most frequently bone marrow and/or cortical bone. The liver and lungs are rarely the site of metastatic spread. Cortical bone involvement as manifested by a positive bone scan is a particularly poor prognostic indicator. The majority of patients present with locally advanced disease at the time of diagnosis.
