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


It is a group of tumours that is seen more often in childhood than adulthood.
