Pulmonary tumors in childhood are rare, but the majority
are malignant. The histopathologic spectrum is quite diverse,
including inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, hamartoma,
primary pulmonary paraganglioma, carcinoid tumor,
mucoepidermoid carcinoma, pleuropulmonary blastoma,
adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and sarcomas.
Nonspecific clinical and radiological findings result in late and
incorrect diagnoses. Although surgical resection is the initial
and proper treatment method, additional adjuvant therapy is
dependent on both tumor stage and histopathologic type.
