Abstract

WHO firstly published the classification of paediatric tumours, in which genetic tumour syndromes were introduced as a separate chapter, covering the clinicopathological features, molecular genetic alterations, and diagnostic criteria of various tumor susceptibility syndromes common in children. This article briefly introduces and interprets 5 hotspot genetic tumour syndromes (neurofibromatosis type 1, naevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, familial adenomatous polyposis and xeroderma pigmentosum) based on relevant literature, in order to bring new perspectives and insights to pathologists and clinicians.

WHO首次出版了儿童肿瘤分类,遗传性肿瘤综合征作为其独立章节被介绍,内容涵盖儿童常见各种肿瘤易感综合征的临床病理特征、分子遗传学改变以及诊断标准等。本文结合相关文献,对其中儿童好发的5种热点综合征(神经纤维瘤病1型、痣样基底细胞癌综合征、von Hippel-Lindau综合征、家族性腺瘤性息肉病和着色性干皮病)做简要介绍和解读,以使临床及病理医师对儿童肿瘤易感综合征有更多认识和了解。.
