Aortic Replacement for Retroperitoneal Tumors in Children

1. Abstract

Retroperitoneal tumors may involve the abdominal aorta. Sometimes, these tumors are unresponsive to adjuvant therapy. The total resection is a challenge mainly for vascular reconstruction in children. Then, we report three cases of aortic replacement in children with retroperitoneal tumors. Case 1: an eight-year-old girl presenting with a ganglioneuroma involving the aorta.
