“…There is no clear data in the literature on their real prevalence. Several studies report a significant predominance of the malignant forms (approximately two-thirds of all cases), but infantile haemangiomas and inflammatory pseudotumours are often excluded 2–5. There are very few reports on patients presenting in their neonatal period; most of them consist of inflammatory polyps 6–8.…”

Endobronchial and endotracheal tumours are rare in the paediatric population, especially in neonates. The common presentation is respiratory distress with persistent lung collapse or hyperinflation. Treatment usually involves endoscopic or surgical lobar resection. This case presents a preterm neonate who developed acute respiratory distress with persistent right upper lobe atelectasis. A flexible bronchoscopy showed a pediculate violaceous endobronchial lesion in the right main bronchus. Endoscopic resection was not possible due to the patient’s low weight and the decision was made to support the patient with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) at home, while monitoring her closely. Remarkably, the lesion spontaneously resolved, and CPAP support was discontinued successfully. The case emphasises the importance of early bronchoscopy, continuous monitoring and the possibility of using CPAP support until conditions are reunited for an eventual resection. This unique case also demonstrates the potential for spontaneous resolution in some cases.

“…In literature great confusion exists about their real prevalence. Several studies report a clear predominance of the malignant forms (65% of cases, approximately) but infantile hemangioma and papilloma are often excluded in these epidemiological analyses (3,5,6).…”

“…Different patterns of calcification are described in 30% of cases (3). Cells expression of somatostatin receptors is a distinctive feature of carcinoid tumors so that radiolabeled somatostatin analogues are usually used in scintigraphy as complementary study for diagnosis and follow up (6). Mucoepidermoid carcinomas appear as intraluminal slowgrowing vascular polypoid masses with a high rate of calcifications (50% of cases) (6).…”

Although primary tracheobronchial tumors are extremely rare in children, recurrent respiratory symptoms resistant to conventional therapy require further investigations to exclude possible malignant obstructive causes. As the matter of fact, early diagnosis may allow minimally invasive surgeries, improving the standard of living and the globally survival rate. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of diagnosis and management of tracheobronchial tumors in the early age, since only few reports are reported in the worldwide literature.
