Despite significant improvement in the survival of pediatric patients with cancer, treatment outcomes for high-risk, relapsed, and refractory cancers remain unsatisfactory. Moreover, prolonged survival is frequently associated with long-term adverse effects due to intensive multimodal treatments. Accelerating the progress of pediatric oncology requires both therapeutic advances and strategies to mitigate the long-term cytotoxic side effects, potentially through targeting specific molecular drivers of pediatric malignancies.

Article Synopsis
- Classical and mixed congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN) show an internal tandem duplication (ITD) of the EGFR gene, while cellular CMN typically has an ETV6::NTRK3 gene fusion, which is also found in infantile fibrosarcoma.
- A study on pediatric fibromatosis revealed that none of the cases exhibited EGFR ITD, suggesting that fibromatosis is not characterized by this genetic alteration.
- The findings indicate that soft tissue tumors with EGFR ITD may resemble infantile fibrosarcoma or mixed CMN, but further research is needed to understand their biological behavior in comparison to fibrosarcoma and other related tumors.

Article Synopsis
- Sinonasal myxomas (SNMs) are a specific type of tumor found in the paranasal sinuses and maxillae of infants, as seen in a case involving a 15-month-old.
- After initial surgery, the patient's tumor recurred, but a second surgery using marginal excision was successful with no further recurrences.
- SNMs have unique clinical and histological traits, and their positive β-catenin staining, unlike odontogenic myxomas which are negative for it, suggests they could be classified as a separate disease, prompting potential changes in treatment approaches.
