Zusammenfassung

Die häufigste Lokalisation von soliden Tumoren des Kindesalter ist das zentrale Nervensystem. Die Vielzahl der dort vorkommenden primären Tumoren wird vornehmlich histomorphologisch, aber auch radiomorphologisch (Albright et a1. 1993) und molekularbiologisch (Kleihues u. Ohgaki 2000) klassifiziert. Sekundäre Tumoren (Metastasen) kommen bei Neuroblastomen, Nephroblastomen und Osteosarkomen vor, sind aber sehr selten.
