  • Title: Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma arising in a congenital pulmonary airway malformation in a child: case report with an update of this association.
    Author: Ramos SG, Barbosa GH, Tavora FR, Jeudy J, Torres LA, Tone LG, Trad CS.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2007 May; 42(5):E1-4. PubMed ID: 17502169.
    Abstract:
    An 8-year-old girl was evaluated for a mass in the left pulmonary lobe. Her clinical history was remarkable for an intermittent dry cough since the age of 2, with recurrent episodes of purulent sputum and fever. She underwent left lower lobectomy, which was found to be a bronchioloalveolar carcinoma arising in a type 1 congenital pulmonary airway malformation at pathologic examination. No additional therapies were undertaken. Two years after resection, imaging studies showed 5 contralateral pulmonary nodules suggestive of disseminated disease with a poor outcome. A review of presentation, treatment, and outcome of this association was made.
