Primary embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas of the kidney are extremely rare, especially in adults. The presented case, a 32-year-old female with a background of autosomal polycystic kidney disease, was initially referred with a left hemorrhagic renal cyst. Despite angioembolization, she eventually underwent radical nephrectomy which revealed the diagnosis of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. The diagnosis and presentation of this case is unique as she presented with hemorrhagic renal cyst. Adult renal rhabdomyosarcoma has a poor prognosis, as shown by other reported cases. Unfortunately, She passed away 88 days post operatively due to disease progression.

: An interlabial mass in newborn girls is diagnosed usually after birth or during the first days or weeks of life. According to various studies, its prevalence ranges between 1 : 500 and 1 : 7,000 newborn girls. A mass in the vaginal introitus or between the labia majora can cause a diagnostic dilemma and may be suspected even of ambiguous genitalia.

Space-making particle therapy, which consists of surgical placement of a spacer followed by particle therapy, has become a solution to the problem of normal organs being exposed to a high radiation dose. A bioabsorbable spacer is particularly suitable for this purpose, but is not widely used. Surgical placement of a spacer is performed mostly to protect the digestive tract, but can also be used to protect the kidneys.

Article Synopsis
- This study explored how nephrostomies affect total renal function (TRF) and split renal function (SRF) in patients with pelvic tumors that cause upper urinary tract obstruction (UUTO).
- Researchers analyzed data from patients treated between 2000 and 2022, comparing those who received nephrostomies to those who did not.
- Results indicated that nephrostomy improved estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in treated patients, while those without the procedure showed no improvement, suggesting that nephrostomies may enhance renal outcomes in this context.

Liquid biopsies are emerging as an alternative source for pediatric cancer biomarkers with potential applications during all stages of patient care, from diagnosis to long-term follow-up. While developments within this field are reported, these mainly focus on dedicated items such as a specific liquid biopsy matrix, analyte, and/or single tumor type. To the best of our knowledge, a comprehensive overview is lacking.

The management of pediatric tumors is complex, with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy being cornerstones in their treatment. Tumor removal is increasingly performed by a minimally invasive approach, which allows for quicker postoperative recovery and less postoperative pain. The goal of this report is to give an overview of minimally invasive surgical approaches for common pediatric tumors, with a focus on technical considerations and postoperative outcomes.
