Extremely rare cancers in children such as lung adenocarcinoma need accurate and specific diagnosis in order to develop an optimal plan of treatment. It is also necessary to underline that "children are not little adults," thus implying that an adult-type cancer in the pediatric population might have a different etiopathogenesis. Diagnostic confirmation and primary treatment of such rare conditions should be centralized in reference centers, collaborative networks, or both, with multidisciplinary approaches and very specific expertise.
