TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Pulmonary Neoplasms and Masses A1 - Wells, Robert G. PY - 2015 T2 - Diagnostic Imaging of Infants and Children AB - Lung masses in children comprise a spectrum of neoplastic, developmental, and acquired lesions (Table 5-1). Most pulmonary masses in children are developmental or inflammatory. Blastomycosis can cause a large, solid lung mass that has imaging features similar to those of a neoplasm. Congenital bronchopulmonary malformations are important considerations in young children with a lung mass. Metastatic disease is the most common malignant lung lesion in children. The most common primary lung neoplasms are carcinoid, plasma cell granuloma, and pleuropulmonary blastoma. Children with immunodeficiency are at elevated risk for Epstein-Barr virus-related smooth muscle tumors, lymphoma, and lymphoproliferative disorders.1–3 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/18 UR - accesspediatrics.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1148941925 ER -
