“…Bronchial carcinoids, invasive fibrous tumors and mucoepidermoid tumors are the most commonly reported tumors in children, followed by endobronchial hamartoma, leiomyoma and schwannoma [7,19,20,21]. In our study, FB revealed tumors in 5 patients and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of carcinoid tumor, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, papilloma and an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.…”

Background: Endobronchial obstructions are rarely seen in children and are often misdiagnosed resulting in delay of definitive treatment. A variety of diseases can cause endobronchial obstructions in childhood, but data is limited as to the frequency, distribution and clinical characteristics of endobronchial obstructions diagnosed with flexible bronchoscopy (FB). Objective: To document endobronchial obstructions detected by FB. Methods: FB results from three pediatric pulmonology centers in Istanbul were evaluated. Results: A total of 2,555 children underwent an FB procedure during the study period. Endobronchial obstructions were detected in 10% (n = 256) of the patients. Among FB in patients who had endobronchial obstructions, the four most common indications for bronchoscopy were persistent infiltrations (30%, n = 72), persistent wheezing (28%, n = 70), chronic cough (26%, n = 66) and atelectasis (23%, n = 59). The most common endobronchial obstructions detected in the patients were aspirated foreign bodies (35.9%, n = 92), endobronchial tuberculosis (31.6%, n = 81), mucous plugs occluding airway (16.7%, n = 43) and granulation scars (6%, n = 16). Other pathologiesincluded hydatid cysts (n = 5), hemangiomas (n = 5), tumors (n = 5), submucosal nodules (n = 5) and polyps (n = 4). Endobronchial obstructions were most commonly located in the right bronchus (51%, n = 130) followed by the left bronchus (33%, n = 85), bilaterally (8%, n = 21) and trachea (8%, n = 20). Conclusions: Endobronchial obstructions can be caused by a number of different diseases which require various medical or surgical treatments. In the presence of clinical or radiological findings suggesting an endobronchial obstruction, FB should be performed promptly.

“…A thorough review of literature revealed this to be the youngest reported case of endobronchial hamartoma. Only one previous case report of endobronchial hamartoma in an infant 8 months of age who underwent endoscopic resection was found [9]. Endobronchial hamartoma, although rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of an endobronchial mass in children.…”

“…In children, about 20 cases of pulmonary hamartomas have been described in the literature. [4][5][6][7][8] Congenital forms can be life-threatening, with neonatal fatal evolution. 9 In the current report, the hamartoma is described as giant because of its measurements, in contrast with the classic adult presentation of an isolated smaller nodule.…”

Hamartoma is the most common benign pulmonary tumor in adults, but is rarely described in the pediatric population. Giant chondromatous and progressive forms are even rarer. We report the novel case of a 13‐month‐old infant hospitalized for giant pulmonary chondromatous hamartoma discovered during a septic episode, rapidly progressive, with severe multifocal lesions, without clear response to several cytotoxic therapies. No predisposition syndrome was identified.
