Endobronchial inflammatory pseudotumour exacerbating asthma

D Jayne1, B Bridgewater, R A Lawson

Summary

Pediatric inflammatory pseudotumours, a rare benign lung tumor, can mimic asthma symptoms, delaying diagnosis. Early surgical resection of this endobronchial plasma cell granuloma offers a good prognosis.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Pulmonology
  • Thoracic Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Primary pulmonary tumors are uncommon in children.
  • Inflammatory pseudotumours (plasma cell granulomas) are the most frequent benign lung neoplasms in pediatric patients.
  • These tumors can present with nonspecific symptoms, potentially delaying diagnosis and treatment.

Observation:

  • A 10-year-old girl presented with symptoms suggestive of an asthma exacerbation.
  • Investigations revealed an endobronchial inflammatory pseudotumour.
  • The tumor's location within the bronchus caused obstructive symptoms.

Findings:

  • The case highlights an unusual presentation of an endobronchial inflammatory pseudotumour mimicking asthma.
  • Pre-operative diagnosis was achieved through appropriate investigations.
  • Complete surgical resection was successfully performed.

Implications:

  • Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing pediatric inflammatory pseudotumours.
  • Early treatment leads to a favorable prognosis in affected children.
  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare pulmonary lesions in pediatric respiratory conditions.
