Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Diagnostics will focus on state-of-the-art literature reviews, as well as findings on the most frequent tumors of the thoracic, abdominal and skeletal region seen in children. It would be desirable to divide the various articles according to the lesions that can be found in the first year of life, in small children, in older children and in adolescents because it could be helpful reading for those who are less skilled in pediatric pathology. It is known that some neoplasms are more frequent in the first year of life and others in older children, and this can also help increase confidence in the histology of these tumors. In this Special Issue, works that correlate the various imaging techniques with surgical and histological data will also be particularly appreciated. With regard to imaging techniques, a greater space must be given for the description of methods that do not use ionizing radiation (i.e., ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging). Computed tomography and nuclear medicine methods must be included in the diagnostic process. Lastly, works that highlight particular aspects of lesions not reported in the literature can also be considered, also in relation to the new histological reading methods related to the radiological data.
