Abstract

We define rare tumors in pediatric oncology arbitrarily as including the following histologies: retinoblastoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, desmoid, non-CNS germ cell tumors, liver tumors, pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB), chordoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, and for some the true connective tissue tumors. Relative to adult tumors, practically every tumor in this text could be considered rare but these histologies are rare even within the scope of pediatric care.
