Abstract

Two patients were admitted with large anterior chest wall masses, approximately 10 cm in diameter. In both patients, radiological investigations showed a huge anterior mediastinal tumor invading the neighbouring lung, chest wall, initially suggesting a malignant tumor. Incisional biopsies revealed organized pneumonia in both cases. Although microbiologic documentation was not possible, empirical antibiotic treatment was successful in both cases and the masses showed complete regression. Any child presenting with an anterior chest wall mass should be examined for both neoplastic and non-neoplastic etiologies. It should be kept in mind that organized pneumonia may present as a chest wall mass and mimic a malignant tumor during the initial evaluation.

Özet

İki çocuk hasta göğüs ön duvarında yaklaşık 10 cm çaplı kitle ile başvurdu. Her ikisinin radyolojik incelemelerinde de büyük çaplı ön mediasten kitlesinin, çevre akciğer, göğüs duvarı yapılarını infiltre eden malign bir tümör olabileceği düşünüldü. Her iki olguda da insizyonel biyopsiler organize pnömoni ile uyumlu idi. Enfeksiyöz etyoloji açısından mikrobiyolojik dokümantasyon yapılamamış olsa da, ampirik antibiyotik tedavisi ile başarılı yanıt alındı ve kitleler kayboldu. Ön göğüs duvarı kitlesi olan çocuklarda neoplastik ve non-neoplastik etyolojiler araştırılmalıdır. Böyle olgularda organize pnömoni akılda tutulmalı ve başlangıçta malign tümör görünümünü taklit edebileceği unutulmamalıdır.
