title: Familial pediatric endocrine tumors.
abstract: Pediatric endocrine tumors are rare but have fairly characteristic presentations. We describe an approach to diagnosis and management of five of the most common presentations including gonadoblastoma, paraganglioma, medullary thyroid cancer, adrenal cancer, and pituitary adenoma. Genetic testing can aid in the early detection and prevention and management of tumors in patients and in other family members.
