    Abstract:
    The experience with diagnosis and treatment of 45 children at the age of from 2 mos to 15 yrs with tumours and tumour-like formations of the stomach and intestine was summarized. Most frequently (more than in 60% of cases), lymphosarcoma was revealed, cancer--in 4.4% of cases. The main causes of diagnostic errors--ignoring the data of history, wrong interpretation of the results of palpation of the abdomen, incomplete examination of a patient and absence of oncologic suspiciousness in a physician. Results of treatment of the patients with malignant masses depended on a stage of the disease.
