  • Chapter
Fetal and Neonatal Pathology

Abstract

Tumours presenting in the newborn period are rare, although not as rare as the published literature suggests (Isaacs 1985). Any pathologist working near a busy obstetric or neonatal unit can expect to see occasional cases. Many of these tumours are peculiar to infants, or behave differently from their counterparts in older children. Unfamiliarity with neonatal tumours may lead to unnecessarily aggressive therapy or well-intentioned neglect.
