A retrospective study of malignant diseases of childhood was carried out at B. S. Medical College, Bankura, W.B. to know the prevalence. It includes cases detected in this institution during 1990-1999 in the age group of 0-14 years. Cases were identified from previous records. Histopathology slides, stained by hematoxylin and eosin, were recovered and reviewed. Diagnosis were made by morphology. Hematological diagnosis were made by morphology and cyto-chemistry. In total 120 cases were detected. Acute leukemia (39.2%) was the commonest, followed by retinoblastoma (19.2%), lymphoma (10.8%), Wilm's tumor (10%) and rhabdomyosarcoma (9.1%). Brain tumors were not found due to non-availability of Neurosurgical Unit in this institution. Frequency of neuroblastoma was very low, only 2 out of a total of 120. In comparison to studies in Southern India and Western countries retinoblastoma and soft tissue sarcoma are more prevalent here, while there is a much lower prevalence of neuroblastoma.
为了解儿童恶性疾病的患病率，在西孟加拉邦班库拉的B.S.医学院开展了一项回顾性研究。该研究涵盖了1990年至1999年期间在该机构确诊的0至14岁儿童病例。病例信息来自既往记录。回收并用苏木精和伊红染色的组织病理学切片进行复查。诊断依据形态学。血液学诊断依据形态学和细胞化学。共检测到120例病例。急性白血病（39.2%）最为常见，其次是视网膜母细胞瘤（19.2%）、淋巴瘤（10.8%）、肾母细胞瘤（10%）和横纹肌肉瘤（9.1%）。由于该机构没有神经外科科室，未发现脑肿瘤病例。神经母细胞瘤的发病率非常低，120例中仅有2例。与印度南部和西方国家的研究相比，视网膜母细胞瘤和软组织肉瘤在这里更为普遍，而神经母细胞瘤的发病率则低得多。
