PEDIATRIC CHEST Flashcards
hyperlucent lung; asymmetric. It is also known as Obstructive Bronchiolitis
Swyer-James-Macleod syndrome
NEONATE patient shows a lucency adjacent to the cardiomediastinal silhuoette with as SHARPLY DEFINED CARDIAC or DIAPHRAGMATIC MARGIN
pneumothorax in neonate
- basal pneumothorax (medial) is more common in neonates
Differential diagnosis of neonatal pneumothorax
SKIN FOLD
*absence of thin white pleural line at the interface between the central higher attenuation and peripheral lower attenuation
What is the most common etiology of Pneumonia in INFANT AND YOUNG CHILDREN which has prominent areas of atelectasis that change rapidly “ WANDERING OR SHIFTING ATELECTASIS”
RSV
MC TRUE LUNG MASS in children. A solid mass that ABUTS the PLEURA AND MEDIASTINAL SURFACE
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT), plasma cell granuloma, and xanthogranuloma
MC LUNG mass in a child
pseudomass ( round pneumonia)
MC PRIMARY benign neoplasm in the pediatric population that presents as SOLITARY NONCALCIFIED LOBULAR MASS
Pulmonary Hamartoma
Pulmonart Hamartoma >Pulmonary Chondroma > Respiratory Papillomatosis
MC primary MALIGNANT pulmonary lesion in pediatric population
ENDOBRONCHIAL CARCINOID
PLEUROPULMONARY BLASTOMA
MC primary MALIGNANT pulmonary lesion in pediatric population
ENDOBRONCHIAL CARCINOID
PLEUROPULMONARY BLASTOMA
Pulmonary mass that begins as CYSTIC LESION that progresses to a solid one and occurs in children younger than 6 years old
PLEUROPULMONARY BLASTOMA
*indistinguishable to CPAM
Clues: pneumothorax, multiple lesions and family history (DICER1)
MC ANTERIOR mediastinal mass in children
Lymphoma
MC POSTERIOR mediastinal mass in children
Neurogenic tumor (usually neuroblastoma)
MC BENIGN CHEST WALL mass in pediatric population
Osteochondroma
MC MALIGNANT CHEST WALL mass in PEDIATRIC population
Metastasis
MC PRIMARY MALIGNANT CHEST WALL mass in PEDIATRIC population
RHABDOMYOSARCOMA
