Sommario/riassunto

Over the past two decades, the remarkable advances in imaging techniques, such as ultrasound and fast or ultra-fast MRI, have led to the diagnosis of an increasing number of tumors at the prenatal stage. This revised, abundantly illustrated second edition of Tumors of the Fetus and Infant: An Atlas presents an up-to-date account of the clinical and pathological features of neoplastic disease and tumor-like conditions in the fetus, neonate, and infant and discusses major tumor studies and cases from throughout the world. The full range of tumors is covered, with each chapter reviewing the incidence, clinical findings, cytogenetics, pathology, radiology, treatment, and prognosis. The goal is to enable the reader to gain a clear understanding of these lesions so



that a correct diagnosis can be achieved and appropriate treatment, initiated. This atlas will also serve as a concise and easy to use reference source not only for pathologists but also for clinicians, resident physicians, medical students, and other medical specialists .
