title: Imaging of pediatric pelvic neoplasms.
abstract: Pediatric pelvic neoplasms, although relatively uncommon, are often difficult to evaluate and characterize with imaging, due to their overlapping appearances. This article discusses key clinical features and imaging findings that help limit the differential diagnosis of pediatric pelvic neoplasms. Testicular, ovarian, uterine, and bladder masses are included in addition to sacrococcygeal teratoma.
