Résumé
Mucoepidermoid cancer of the bronchus in childhood is extremely rare. These tumors generally produce symptoms of airway obstruction, often misdiagnosed as unresolved tuberculosis. Distant metastasis is an uncommon finding of this malignancy, therefore complete surgical resection is treatment of choice. The prognosis of these tumors correlates with the histologic grade of the tumor. We report our clinical experience of mucoepideromoid cancer in a 10-year-old child who visited our hospital with symptoms of recurrent cough and fever. The patients underwent successful removal of tumor by bilobectomy via thoracotomy after bronchoscopic biopsy.

There are various surgical techniques in repairing Ebstein anomaly, but residual tricuspid regurgitation and compromized right heart function may ensue in some cases. We report our clinical experience of Ebstein anomaly and atrial flutter in a 19-year-old male patient who underwent simple modified tricuspid annuloplasty, bi-directional cavopulmonary shunt and cryoablation of cavotricuspid isthmus.
