There is a group of children with disseminated neuroblastoma with a surprisingly good prognosis. Patients who fit the syndrome can have widespread disease in the liver, skin, and bone-marrow, or any combination of these. The primary tumour in some may be relatively small. 21 of 25 such patients (84%) survived for two years or longer. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy may not be necessary in the management of certain children with this syndrome.
