Conclusion - Wilms’ tumour and intestinal lymphoma are the most common solid abdominal tumours in children between 1 and 14 years old. - Careful clinical and radiological diagnosis before surgery lead to well deciding of the surgical treatment and hence better outcome after surgery. - Early stages of solid abdominal tumours in childhood can be treated well with surgical resection of the tumour. - Radical resection of the respectable tumours is mandatory to give complete cure of the patient, to avoid postoperative complications and to avoid harmful side effects of long-term postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy. - A great deal of work remains to be done in improving protocols and achieving a better quality of survival for these children. Further long-term studies on large number of patients are recommended. |
