title: Handling and evaluation of pediatric renal tumors.
abstract: Optimal pathologic evaluation of pediatric renal tumors, which share many features in common with their adult counterparts, also includes some relatively unique considerations, in large part related to specialized classification, grading or staging systems, and ongoing collaborative clinical and biologic studies. Important factors in the gross evaluation, procurement of tissue for special studies, and selection of tissue blocks for light microscopy are briefly reviewed.
