[Gonadal tumors in children (author's transl)]

Four cases of gonadal tumors in infancy were treated in the Service of Pediatric Surgery of the Hospital Infantil "Virgen de la Arrixaca", Murcia, during the first two years of surgical work. One of them is a Leydig cells testicular tumor, the second is a ovary tumor of the granulosa and the last two cases were ovarian cysts, one of them associated with precocious puberty. The clinical features, diagnostic and therapeutic problems of these tumors are reviewed.
