[Cytopathology of malignant blastematous tumors].
Since almost all childhood blastematous tumors belong to the group of non hematological small round cell tumors we describe here the cytopathological aspects of the most frequent of these neoplasms i.e. neuroblastoma, nephroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, peripheral neuroectodermic tumors, and emphasize the role of molecular techniques applicable to cytological material obtained from fine-needle aspiration to help the pediatrician in tailoring therapy.
