Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- A 7-year-old boy with recurrent pneumonia of the right lower lobe is described. At bronchoscopy a small tumour almost totally obliterating the right lower lobe was detected. Surgical treatment was undertaken. Histopathologic studies showed findings consistent with those of a muco-epidermoid tumour. The case emphasizes bronchoscopy as an important investigation in children with recurrent pneumonia. It also shows the importance of performing the bronchoscopy during a prolonged course of antibiotic prophylaxis in order to ensure a minimum of infected mucus within the bronchi. This report is completed with a short review of the literature on muco-epidermoid tumours of the bronchus in children. Their favourable prognosis and very low malignant potential is underlined.
