Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. It appears to be a round cell tumor.
2. Areas of necrosis, and frequent mitosis with calcification indicates the tumor could be possibly malignant.
3. It could be a possible blastoma tumor depending on site. - nephroblastoma, medulloblastoma, retinoblastoma etc.
4. Staging and grading is necessary for prognostic evaluation.

Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
