Do lymphomas count as solid tumors?

No, pediatric solid tumors are generally defined as: Wilm's tumor, neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, medulloblastoma, Ewing's etc. Leukemia and lymphomas do not count towards your solid peds case requirement.

I thought there was only a requirement to have 12 pediatric cases simmed, regardless of whether or not they are solid/liquid.

is this correct?

A minimum of 9 of the 12 must have solid tumors.
