Abstract
Diseases commonly encountered in pediatric lung biopsies and resections are significantly different from those encountered in adult surgical lung specimens. Certain tumor types, including solitary fibrous tumor, carcinoid tumors, and low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinomas, occur in pediatric patients and are discussed and illustrated in other chapters. Developmental disorders, conditions resulting from prematurity, and certain rare tumor types largely limited to children constitute a large proportion of pediatric disorders and are the focus of this chapter. The diagnostic approach to many of these pediatric lung diseases is different. Clinical and radiologic information is often extremely important for accurate and meaningful interpretation. This chapter illustrates the disorders most commonly encountered in pediatric surgical pathology.
