Neonatal germ cell tumors are rare and comprise both benign and malignant neoplasms. Teratoma with nephroblastoma is a malignant subset defined pathologically by the presence of nephroblastoma and teratoma elements. Although teratoma with nephroblastoma is most often found in the kidney, 24 of 59 reported cases are associated with extrarenal locations, such as the mediastinum or retroperitoneum. To our knowledge, this is the first patient in the literature with intracranial/pineal teratoma with nephroblastoma, which was managed with staged transcranial approaches resulting in gross total resection and no adjuvant therapy (surveillance observation imaging). We further augmented the patient's management by comprehensive genomic profiling of the tumor to better understand the molecular biology and explore options for targeted therapy.

Article Synopsis
- Extrarenal teratoid Wilms' tumor (TWT) is a rare type of cancer with complex histology, making diagnosis challenging; the case discussed involves an 8-year-old girl with a mediastinal mass containing nephroblastomatous elements.
- Surgical resection revealed a mature cystic teratoma mixed with nephroblastoma, and immunohistochemical tests confirmed the diagnosis, leading to a smooth recovery for the patient.
- This case emphasizes the importance of detailed histopathological analysis in distinguishing TWT from other tumors, underlining the necessity for long-term monitoring due to potential recurrence.
Horseshoe kidney with teratoid type of Wilms tumor: a rare case report.

Article Synopsis
- Horseshoe kidney is the most common renal fusion anomaly and can rarely be associated with Wilms tumor, the most common kidney cancer in children; a unique case involved a 5-year-old boy with a teratoid variant of Wilms tumor.
- The patient presented with a large, calcified mass in his horseshoe kidney, diagnosed as Wilms tumor, leading to neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery.
- Post-operative findings confirmed the teratoid type, highlighting the importance of recognizing rare renal anomalies and suggests that clinicians should remain vigilant for unusual presentations in pediatric renal tumors.
Indocyanine green fluorescence imaging-assisted laparoscopy resection of retroperitoneal tumors in children: case report and literature review.

This study examined the applicability of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging to assist the laparoscopic resection of retroperitoneal tumors in pediatric patients via an abdominal approach. Conducted prospectively at the Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center from May to September 2023, the research included three pediatric cases, for whom laparoscopic retroperitoneal tumor resections were performed utilizing ICG fluorescence imaging. In each case, ICG was intravenously administered (0.

Objective: The study investigated maternal exposure to heavy metals from industrial sources during pregnancy as potential risk factors for childhood cancer.
Methods: Cases ages 0-19 were identified from California Cancer Registry. Controls (20:1 ratio) were randomly selected from California Birth Registry, frequency-matched by birth year (1998-2016).
