Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes in Chinese pediatric and adolescent patients with primary tracheobronchial tumors by focusing upon the exploration of prognostic factors. METHODS: A retrospective review of medical records collected from January 1996 through June 2009 was conducted within a single institution, inclusive of the total 19 treated pediatric and adolescent patients (3 benign tumors, 16 malignant tumors). A parallel comparison of adult cases with tracheobronchial tumor was performed to the pediatric and adolescent cases. RESULTS: The chart review of pediatric and adolescent case reports revealed 19 cases with primary tracheobronchial tumors. Final pathologic diagnosis included 14 (73.68%) mucoepidermoid carcinoma (ME), 2 (10.53%) carcinoid tumor, 2 (10.53%) papillomatosis and 1 (5.26%) neurofibroma. Median age upon diagnosis was 12 years (range 4-18 years). Chest imaging revealed common abnormal radiographic atelectasis (12/19). Patients with localized disease received surgical tumor resection. There were a total of 8 (42.1%) sleeve resections, 4 (21.1%) resection of anatomically related lung parenchyma (1 bilateral lobectomies, 2 lobectomies, 1 pneumonectomy) and 7 local tumor resections. No surgery-related deaths or complications were observed. 16 patients (84.2%) remained disease free with a median follow-up of 70.5 months (range 44-168 months). CONCLUSIONS: Our hospital data indicated a high incidence of ME, presenting the difference in the incidence rates between Chinese and western populations. Sleeve lobectomy provides efficient treatment with excellent prognosis among Chinese pediatric and adolescent patients.
