✦ Synopsis

A broad spectrum of renal tumors occurs in infants and children ranging from the benign cystic nephroma to the extremely aggressive malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney. A thorough understanding of these tumors is crucial to the optimal diagnosis and management of children with renal masses. The common renal tumors in infants and children are discussed and an orderly method for their evaluation is presented. Recent developments in the molecular biology of Wilms' tumor are outlined to provide insight into the origin of this tumor.

Pediatric brain tumors differ from adult brain tumors in several major ways. First, the types of tumors encountered in children are uncommon in adults, and vice versa. Second, tumors of the posterior fossa comprise a far greater percentage of tumors in children as compared to adults. Third, the valu

Germ cell tumors are relatively rare tumors in childhood which often present with very large tumors in both gonadal and extragonadal locations. Extragonadal tumors are more common in neonates and infants, whereas gonadal sites predominate in childhood and adolescence. Management consists of surgical
