Histologic subtypes were type AB (n\u2009=\u20091), type B (n\u2009=\u20095) and type C (n\u2009=\u20093). Treatment consisted of tumor resection (4 R0, 4 R1, 1 R2) via right anterior thoracotomy, posterolateral thoracotomy, left thoracoscopy, sternotomy and cervicosternotomy, and\/or chemotherapy, mainly cyclophosphamide\u2010doxorubicin\u2010cisplatin (CAP; n\u2009=\u20095), and\/or radiotherapy (n\u2009=\u20094). Two patients with TET type C died. All other patients are alive with a median follow\u2010up of 4 years (range: 1.5\u201320). Review of a total of 93 pediatric cases reported in the literature showed statistically significant associations between less favorable histologic subtypes and male gender (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.012), advanced Masaoka stage (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and quality of resection (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>A review of the literature and our series identified several risk factors to take into account in the therapeutically decision.
