Rare Tumors In Children and Adolescents

Abstract

Despite their considerable organ size, the lungs rarely give rise to malignant tumors during childhood and adolescence. If they do, these tumors may present with embryonal structures resembling immature stages of pulmonary development ­(pleuropulmonary blastoma). On the other hand, tumors may present with organ-specific bronchial or ­neuroendocrine differentiation, while classic ­adeno-, squamous cell, or small cell carcinomas are ­exceedingly rare.
