ABSTRACT
Childhood ARDS is mostly caused by pneumonia. Pulmonary pseudocysts are reported in adults recovering from ARDS, usually in non-dependent lung regions. The authors present a 1.5-year-old boy, who survived severe pulmonary ARDS with development of pulmonary giant pseudocysts and other structural abnormalities in dependent lung region. To the best of authors knowledge, it is the first follow up report of pulmonary abnormality in a toddler with ARDS of extreme severity.

El Granuloma Hialinizante Pulmonar (GHP), es una entidad relativamente nueva descrita hace poco más de una década. Su incidencia real se desconoce, pero aún así, se considera una patología poco usual, cuya etiología se ignora, aún cuando se describe asociada a entidades como fibrosis mediastinal, retroperitoneal, o a procesos infecciosos como la tuberculosis, debiendo ser diferenciada de lesiones metastásicas y otras entidades pulmonares menos frecuentes. En este artículo registramos dos casos de GHP, los cuales fueron diagnosticados en el Hospital Santa Clara de Bogotá, complementándolo con una revisión de la literatura existente.
