RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestation, pathological types, treatment and prognosis of primary tracheobronchial tumors in children.Methods:We retrospectively studied the primary tracheobronchial tumors patients who diagnosed from May 2009 to Jan 2021 in Guangzhou Women and Children Medical Center. The clinical manifestations, pathological types, therapeutic methods and prognosis were analyzed.Results:There were 15 patients identified as the primary tracheobronchial tumors, including synovial sarcoma (1 case), pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor(IMT 4 cases), mucoepidermoid carcinoma(7 cases), infantile hemangioma (1 case), Ewing's sarcoma (1 case). Respiratory symptoms are the most complaint at the time of diagnosis including 15 patients with cough, 2 with hemoptysis, and 1 with dyspnea. Endoscopic treatment of tracheobronchial tumors was performed under extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in 1 patient. Sleeve lobectomy was performed in 3 patients, lobectomies in 6, and local tumor resections in 4 patients including 2 patients suffered second surgery due to tumor recurrence.Conclusion:The clinical manifestations of the primary tracheobronchial tumors in children are nonspecific. Complete resection led to excellent outcome.
