Background : Characteristics of solid tumors in children differ from solid tumor in adult. The incidence of solid tumor approximately 30% of all pediatric cancers. The aim of our study was to describe the types of solid tumor in children in “Dharmais” Cancer Hospital. Material : This study was a three-years retrospective study of the childhood solid tumor in “Dharmais” Cancer Hospital. The data was retrieved from Cancer Registry Division with diagnosis of solid tumors from 2011 to 2013, age 0-18 years. The main parameters used to collected were age, gender, type and location of the tumor, and basic of diagnostic Results : The results showed 400 cases of solid tumors in childhood, 140 cases in 2011, 124 cases in 2012, and 136 cases in 2013. Most cases were in 0-4 years old (130 cases). The percentage of solid tumors by gender was 59% (male) and 41% (female). The most solid tumors in male were lymphoma (22%), malignant bone tumors (13%), soft tissues and other extra osseous sarcomas (12%), CNS and miscellaneous intracranial and intraspinal neoplasms (12%), and other malignant epithelial neoplasms and malignant melanomas (9%). The most solid tumors in female were malignant bone tumors (17%), Germ cell tumors, trophoblastic tumors, and neoplasms of gonads (14%), other malignant epithelial neoplasms and malignant melanomas (14%), soft tissues and other extra osseous sarcomas (11%), and lymphoma (11%). Approximately 85% cases were microscopically verified Conclusions : Lymphoma is the most common childhood solid tumor in male, whereas malignant bone tumor more common in female.
