A 7-year-old boy with recurrent pneumonia of the right lower lobe is described. At bronchoscopy a small tumour almost totally obliterating the right lower lobe was detected. Surgical treatment was undertaken. Histopathologic studies showed findings consistent with those of a muco-epidermoid tumour. The case emphasizes bronchoscopy as an important investigation in children with recurrent pneumonia. It also shows the importance of performing the bronchoscopy during a prolonged course of antibiotic prophylaxis in order to ensure a minimum of infected mucus within the bronchi. This report is completed with a short review of the literature on muco-epidermoid tumours of the bronchus in children. Their favourable prognosis and very low malignant potential is underlined.
本文描述了一名7岁复发性右下叶肺炎男孩。在支气管镜检查时，发现一个几乎完全阻塞右下叶的小肿瘤。进行了手术治疗。组织病理学研究显示的结果与黏液表皮样肿瘤一致。该病例强调支气管镜检查对于复发性肺炎儿童是一项重要的检查。它还表明在长期抗生素预防过程中进行支气管镜检查的重要性，以确保支气管内感染性黏液最少。本报告还对儿童支气管黏液表皮样肿瘤的文献进行了简短综述。强调了它们良好的预后和极低的恶性潜能。
