Endocrine conditions requiring surgical intervention in the pediatric age­ group are uncommon. When diagnosed, they are the source of great in­ terest and, often, considerable debate. This is understandable, since few centers and even fewer individual surgeons can draw on vast experience of this subject. The great divergence of opinion regarding management is also understandable in that pediatric endocrine lesions often differ considerably from their adult counterparts in histology, natural history and response to treatment. |
