Micrograph showing a small round cell tumour (Ewing sarcoma) in the lung. H&E stain.

Small round cell tumours (SRCT), also small round blue cell tumours (SRBCT), are a group of tumours that have a similar histologic appearance.

General

  • Group of tumours that is typically seen in childhood and younger adults.
  • Most common small round cell tumour is non-Hodgkin lymphoma.[1]

A short differential diagnosis of small round cell tumours

A short DDx of SRCTs:[2][3]

Others:

Memory device: 4 -blastomas (hepato-, neuro-, nephro-, retino-), PNET/Ewing sarcoma (medulloblastoma), LADSSS (lymphoma, alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, DSRCT, small cell carcinoma, small cell osteosarcoma, synovial sarcoma).

A long differential diagnosis of small blue cell tumours
