[Tumors in children].
Biopsy and autopsy findings obtained at the Tartu autopsy department for a 35-year period (from 1941 to 1975) are analysed. Within this period tumors in children under 16 years of age were observed in 1183 cases. Benign tumors (970) were predominating over malignant ones (213). Among benign tumors hemangiomas were in the first place and more frequently observed in girls. Among malignant tumors sarcomas were most frequently detected. Malignant tumors in girls were as frequent as in boys.
