Wereport a case of mucousgland adenomaof the trachea in a 73-year-old male revealed by bronchoscopy. The tumor was resected with a contact neodymium:yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd-YAG)laser after five years of observation. The tumor was histologically peculiar because it presented numerous cystically dilated, or irregularly shaped mucus-filled glands lined with cuboidal or tall columnar cells. In some parts, the lining cells of the tumor showed papillary proliferation. Wediagnosed this tumor as a mucous gland adenomaof the trachea. Wereview the clinical features of this rare tumor and discuss the usefulness of the laser in the diagnosis and the therapy. (Internal Medicine 35: 890-893, 1996)

“…Mucous gland adenoma has been identified from childhood to adult life and the previous youngest patient in the consulted literature was aged 7 ( Table 2). This is a benign lesion and should be clearly separated from the other low malignant tumors that may arise in this region (3,12,14,15) -carcinoid, cylindroma and mucoepidermoid tumourincorrectly referred to as bronchial adenoma (5).…”

“…Different nomenclature and origin of the tumor over the years have brought confusion to the pathologists' interpretation of the lesion (7, 10-12, 14, 15). This tumor has also been previously named adenomatous polyp (12), adenoma of mucous gland type (15), bronchial cystadenoma (3) or papillary cystic adenoma (13), but now the name mucous gland adenoma of the bronchus is preferred (1,4,6). This tumor has incorrectly been described under the term bronchial adenoma with three other low malignant neoplasms, namely: cylindromas, carcinoid and mucoepidermoid carcinoma (5,7), and many authors have already stressed the inadequacy of such designation (1,5,6).…”

y key words unitermos abstract Mucous gland adenoma is a rare benign tumor arising from the mucous secreting glands of the larger airway mucosa. The majority of the cases are seen in the bronchus, but it has also been described in the trachea or peripheral airways. The tumor is composed of mucus-secreting cells, usually forming glands that grow into the lumen as to form an obstructive mass. There is no predilection for sex or age. We report here a case seen in a 5-year-old girl, to our knowledge the youngest in the consulted literature, who presented to Hospital das Clínicas of Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto for investigation and treatment of recurrent pneumonia and lung atelectasis. Bronchoscopy showed a mass obstructing the lower left bronchus and a biopsy of the lesion revealed a benign, although uncharacteristic lesion. Surgical removal of the affected segment, the recommended treatment for this benign lesion, evidenced a mucous gland adenoma. The child recovered well and was completely free of disease when she was lost for follow-up when she was 6 years old. Adenoma Adenoma of the bronchus Mucous gland adenoma Child resumo O adenoma de células mucosas é uma neoplasia benigna rara que se origina nas glândulas da mucosa das vias aéreas maiores. A maioria dos casos é vista nos brônquios, mas já foram descritos casos na traquéia e nas vias respiratórias distais. O tumor é constituído por células mucossecretoras, que geralmente formam glândulas que crescem para dentro da luz, formando massa obstrutiva. Não há predileção por sexo ou idade. Nós relatamos aqui um caso observado em uma menina de 5 anos, o mais jovem relato na literatura consultada, que se apresentou no Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto para investigação e tratamento de pneumonia recorrente e atelectasia do pulmão. O exame broncoscópico mostrou massa obstruindo o brônquio inferior esquerdo e a biópsia revelou lesão benigna incaracterística. A remoção cirúrgica do segmento afetado, que é o tratamento recomendado para esta lesão benigna, evidenciou um adenoma de células mucosas. A criança recuperou-se bem e estava completamente livre de doença quando deixou o seguimento com 6 anos de idade. Adenoma Adenoma brônquico Adenoma de células mucosas Criança 1.

“…Although this tumor has been considered to be different from other bronchial adenomas since 1949,12 the term bronchial adenoma continued to be used to characterize three other histologic types of tracheobronchial neop l a s m~.~'~ The various types and major differences of the bronchial adenomata found in children are summarized in Table 1. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] In reviewing the medical literature we found only six cases of mucous gland adenoma in patients under the age of 15 years. This tumor appears to be equally distributed in both sexes and both lungs, as shown in Table 2…”
