title: [Primary lung tumors in childhood].
abstract: The authors give an account of their experience with the treatment of primary lung tumours in children during 1989-1998. Primary lung tumours in children are extremely rare and represent a varied spectrum of pathological conditions (pneumoblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, pulmonary endodermal tumour and benign tumours). During the mentioned period 10 children were operated on account of primary lung tumours, 5 with malignant tumours and 5 with benign tumours. In these patients during the above period 3 pneumonectomies, 5 lobectomies and 3 segmental resections were made. Chemotherapy was indicated in children with pneumoblastoma and rhabdomyosarcoma. Two patients with pneumoblastoma died, 3 children with malignant and 5 children with benign tumours live without symptoms of the disease.
