Bronchial carcinoid tumors in children and adolescents. 1977

R J Andrassy, and R W Feldtman, and W Stanford

Thirteen histologically proven cases of bronchial carcinoid from the literature and eight cases from the Armed Forces Tumor Registry, all under 20 yr of age, are presented. Hemoptysis, cough, and pneumonia were the most frequent presenting complaints. Bronchoscopy defined the lesion in all 16 cases so studied. Gross and microscopic pathology is briefly described, and treatment in these cases outlined. A good long-term prognosis can be expected, except in those cases with a long delay in diagnosis.

D003528 Carcinoma, Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma characterized by bands or cylinders of hyalinized or mucinous stroma separating or surrounded by nests or cords of small epithelial cells. When the cylinders occur within masses of epithelial cells, they give the tissue a perforated, sievelike, or cribriform appearance. Such tumors occur in the mammary glands, the mucous glands of the upper and lower respiratory tract, and the salivary glands. They are malignant but slow-growing, and tend to spread locally via the nerves.
