Airway masses are uncommon in children. The majority of bronchial tumors are granulomata secondary to an inhaled foreign body. However, other rare diseases like primary bronchopulmonary tumors should always be considered in the evaluation of a bronchial granuloma in children. The differential diagnosis of bronchial granuloma is presented. We report a 7-year-old girl with a 3-year history of recurrent cough and fevers who was found to have a bronchial granuloma in the left upper lobe bronchus. The diagnosis of foreign body-related granuloma was eventually made after combined and repeated rigid and flexible bronchoscopy. This case highlights the need to search aggressively for a foreign body in the presence of an airway granuloma in children, even in the absence of a history of aspiration.
We describe 2 patients in whom symptoms of airway compression developed after arterial switch operation for correction of the transposition of the great arteries. The clinical features, diagnosis, management, and proposed mechanisms of this complication are described.
Trepopnea is a condition whereby breathing may be comfortable in one position but difficult or labored in another. A unique case with trepopnea due to recurrent lung cancer with right main pulmonary artery stenosis and left main bronchus obstruction is presented. The patient had developed trepopnea 3 months earlier, but developed orthopnea shortly before he was admitted to our hospital. An emergent wall stent implantation was performed via the right femoral vein in the sitting position with the patient's leg stretched out. The symptoms and respiratory function improved after stent implantation.
