Simple descriptive statistics using frequency distribution, percentages, means, and standard deviation were used to describe the various variables and presented tables.Results:
The four commonest tumours were nephroblastoma, neuroblastoma, lymphoma, and hepatoblastoma. The mean age at diagnosis was 4.8 years, with a slightly higher male predominance. The majority of the tumours were extremely large at presentation. Overall, the CT histopathology concordance was 79.2%.Conclusion:
Abdominal and pelvic CT scans play an important role in the diagnostic workup of pediatric malignancies by ensuring early and accurate diagnosis of these tumour
