Summary
Rare granular cell tumors (GCT), or Abrikossoff tumors, can affect the airway in children. This report details two pediatric cases of laryngo-tracheal GCT, including one with multifocal lesions, and discusses their management.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Oncology
- Head and Neck Surgery
- Pathology
Background:
- Granular cell tumors (GCT), also known as Abrikossoff tumors, are uncommon neoplasms of disputed cell origin.
- Laryngo-tracheal involvement by GCT is exceptionally rare, particularly in the pediatric population.
Observation:
- This report presents two pediatric cases of granular cell tumors involving the larynx and trachea.
- One of the presented cases exhibited multifocal lesions within the laryngo-tracheal region.
Findings:
- The study discusses the histopathological characteristics of these rare pediatric laryngo-tracheal GCTs.
- Therapeutic strategies employed for managing these cases are detailed, highlighting treatment approaches for pediatric GCTs.
Implications:
- This case series expands the understanding of rare pediatric airway tumors.
- It underscores the importance of considering GCT in the differential diagnosis of pediatric neck masses and provides insights into effective management strategies.
