Abstract
Solid malignant tumors affecting children, not including brain and bone tumors, belong mainly to 4 histological types: neuroblastoma, a tumor of the sympathetic system, nephroblastoma, also called Wilms’ tumor, non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and rhabdomyosarcoma, an embryonal tumor of striated muscle cells. Other types of tumors appear much more rarely: hepatic tumors (hepatoblastoma), softtissue sarcomas and Hodgkin’s disease.
