title: [Dermatoglyphics in children with embryonic tumors (author's transl)].
abstract: Dermatoglyphics were analyzed in 60 children with embryonic tumors.  In comparison with normal children, several differences were found.  Thus, the embryonal origin of the different tumors is underlined and the hypothesis of embryonic tumors as malformations is sustained.  These tumors seem to be the clinically most important manifestation of a much more comprehensive malformation syndrome, which is not yet known in all its details.
