Endobronchial adenomata in children.

D M Bean, D A Haldenby

    The Journal of Otolaryngology
    |December 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Bronchial adenomata, particularly carcinoid tumors, are rare in children. Surgical resection offers the best prognosis, with five-year survival rates between 50-80% for these pediatric lung tumors.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • Bronchial adenomata are rare tumors in the pediatric population.
    • Carcinoid tumors constitute a significant proportion of these pediatric bronchial adenomata.

    Observation:

    • Two new cases of pediatric bronchial carcinoid adenomas were reported, adding to 25 existing cases.
    • Cylindromas and mucoepidermoids represent 13% and 2% of pediatric bronchial adenomas, respectively.
    • Over one-third of pediatric bronchial adenomas present with metastases at diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • Carcinoid tumors are the predominant type of bronchial adenoma in children.
    • Metastasis at diagnosis is a significant concern in pediatric bronchial adenomas.
    • No instances of carcinoid syndrome have been documented in pediatric cases.

    Implications:

    • Surgical resection, particularly lobectomy with sleeve resection, is the primary treatment modality.
    • Surgical intervention significantly enhances the overall five-year survival rate, ranging from 50% to 80%.
    • Further research into the specific characteristics and management of pediatric bronchial adenomas is warranted.
