ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the main epidemiological factors, methods of diagnosis and treatment of retinoblastoma in children of the Edgardo Rebagliati Martins National Hospital. Methods: A retrospective and descriptive study, clinical histories were reviewed, 25 patients with bilateral retinoblastoma were obtained. Descriptive statistics were used for the presentation and analysis of the results. Results: Predominance in preschoolers and males, leucocoria more frequent sign. Conclusion: In addition to what was mentioned in the results, it is more common diagnosis in advanced stages, most received systemic chemotherapy, more than 50% also focal therapy and 44% preserved unilateral vision.

Objective: Describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics, management and survival. Methods: We describe 9 cases of children with extragonadal germinal tumor, located in the sellar and / or suprasellar area, diagnosed in the National Hospital Edgardo Rebagliati Martins - EsSalud during the period 1999-2017.Objective: Describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics, management and survival.

Translocation renal cell carcinoma (t-RCC) is a subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This case is about an 11-year-old with pain in right iliac fossa for two weeks. Tumor of 2.2 x 1.9 x 2.8 cm was evidenced in the upper pole of the right kidney, by ultrasound. Then, she underwent to a right radical nephrectomy and regional lymph node dissection, after which CRT subtype Xp 11.2 was diagnosed. Subsequently, first-line treatment with pazopanib and concomitant chemotherapy was initiated. This disease is more frequent between 10 and 15 years. Their prognosis is usually better compared to adults. The multidisciplinary management associated with the availability of first-line medications improves progression-free survival.

El carcinoma de células renales con translocación (CRT) es un subtipo de carcinoma de células renales (CCR). El presente caso trata de una niña de 11 años con dolor en fosa ilíaca derecha de dos semanas de evolución. Se evidenció tumoración de 2,2 x 1,9 x 2,8 cm en el polo superior del riñón derecho, por ecografía. Luego, fue sometida a nefrectomía radical derecha y a disección ganglionar regional, tras lo cual se diagnosticó CRT subtipo Xp 11.2. Posteriormente, se inició tratamiento de primera línea con pazopanib y quimioterapia concomitante. Esta enfermedad es más frecuente entre los 10 y 15 años. Su pronóstico suele ser mejor comparado al de los adultos. El manejo multidisciplinario asociado a la disponibilidad de medicamentos de primera línea, mejora la sobrevida libre de progresión.

Objetivo: Describir la epidemiologia, tratamiento, evolución y análisis de costos del Hepatocarcinoma infantil y su implicancia en la salud del niño. Material y Métodos: Estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo, longitudinal, tipo serie de casos: Experiencia de 15 años en el tratamiento del Hepatocarcionoma infantil en pacientes de EsSALUD: Hospitales Rebagliati-Almenara, del 1 de Enero de 1999 al 15 de Mayo del 2013. Se recolectaron datos demográficos, de laboratorio, imágenes, patología, tratamiento, evolución y sobrevida. Se analizó también los costos. Resultados: De una data de 58 casos con tumor hepático maligno infantil, 20 casos (34.5%) fueron reportados como hepatocarcinoma. Siendo predominante en el sexo masculino (3/1) y de origen costeño. En todos los casos hubo hepatomegalia, vómitos y anemia. Sólo 7 pacientes habían recibido la vacuna de Hepatitis B. El gasto total...
