Imaging of pediatric extragonadal pelvic soft tissue tumors: A COG Diagnostic Imaging Committee/SPR Oncology Committee White Paper

Erika Pace et al. Pediatr Blood Cancer. 2023 Jun.

Abstract

The most common pediatric extragonadal pelvic cancers include germ cell tumors, sacrococcygeal teratomas, and rhabdomyosarcomas (arising from the urinary bladder, prostate, paratesticular tissues, vagina, uterus, and perineum). This paper describes the radiological and nuclear medicine features of these entities and provides consensus-based recommendations for the assessment at diagnosis, during, and after treatment.

Keywords: Extragonadal pelvic tumors; germ cell tumor; rhabdomyosarcoma; sacrococcygeal teratoma.
