The diagnosis of pediatric round cell tumors by FNA and small tissue biopsies can be challenging, due to significant morphologic overlap between these entities. The differential diagnosis includes tumors arising in a variety of tissues and organs; the age of the patient and location of the tumor can help narrow the differential diagnosis and guide triaging and choice of ancillary studies. Many of these tumors have recurrent genetic abnormalities, which help to confirm the diagnosis. Importantly, the requirements of treatment protocols and associated biologic studies can limit the use of FNA as a primary diagnostic tool in this population.
