Pediatric Tracheal and Endobronchial Tumors<subtitle>An Institutional Experience</subtitle>

Abstract: The results of this series suggest that in the pediatric population tracheal and endobronchial tumors are most likely to be carcinoid tumors or mucoepidermoid carcinomas, both malignant processes. For patients with recurrent pneumonias or chronic wheezing, an occult tumor is a diagnostic consideration that may require additional studies.

“…Both flexible endoscopy and rigid bronchoscopy are used to explore the lumen of the airway, in order to identify tumor location and get tissue samples (22,23). Operative maneuvers such as hemostasis, tumor debulking or airway stenting can also be provided (23).…”

“…Although several reports referees about endoscopic resection of tracheobronchial tumors, this approach remains controversial in favour to radical surgery (22)(23)(24). Conversely, the mainstay of the therapy of infantile hemangioma is medical.…”
