  • Title: Endobronchial adenomata in children.
    Author: Bean DM, Haldenby DA.
    Journal: J Otolaryngol; 1976 Dec; 5(6):519-22. PubMed ID: 189059.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of carcinoid adenomata of the bronchus in children are added to 25 previously reported cases of bronchial adenomata in children in the literature. Carcinoid tumors represent close to 50 per cent of bronchial adenomata in children, with cylindromas (adenoid cystic) forming 13 per cent and mucoepidermoids two per cent. Over 1/3 of bronchial adenomata have metastases at the time of diagnosis. No cases of carcinoid syndrome have been reported in children. The treatment of choice is lobectomy with sleeve resection or, failing that, pulmonary resection. The overall five-year survival time varies from 50 to 80 per cent and is enhanced by surgical resection.
