[Malignant tumors of lungs and bronchi in children and youths. 1. Compilation of 175 cases from the literature].
The authors collected data of 175 malignant and semimalignant tumors in children and adolescents. 74.3 per cent of all reported cases were epithelial tumors (44.0 per cent bronchial adenomas and 30.3 per cent carcinomas), 15.4 per cent of embryonal and 10.3 per cent of mesenchymal origin. All age groups were affected. In children under one year of age embryonal tumors prevailed, in preschool age carcinomas and embryonal tumors dominated while in schoolchildren more often bronchial adenomas and carcinomas were found. All these tumors are very unusual in the pediatric age group. Therefore the right diagnosis is often missed for a longer time.
