  • Title: Pediatric chest lesions.
    Author: Sawin RS.
    Journal: Pediatr Clin North Am; 1998 Aug; 45(4):861-74. PubMed ID: 9728191.
    Abstract:
    Pediatric chest lesions are usually either symptomatic or strikingly visible. The most common lesions, as well as the lesions that require prompt surgical treatment, are reviewed in this article. Careful imaging studies and diagnostic tests such as bronchoscopy can usually characterize these lesions and enable a safe, directed surgical approach. Although many chest lesions can be managed without surgery, primary care providers can expedite treatment of these problems by early referral to pediatric surgeons or pediatric thoracic surgeons.
