“…In the former group, the most common histological entities are represented by infantile hemangioma and squamous papilloma, while inflammatory pseudotumors, leiomyomas, granular cell tumor, juvenile xanthogranuloma, tracheal lipoblastoma and laryngotracheal chondromas occur more sporadically. The latter group includes carcinoids, mucoepidermoid carcinomas and less frequently rhabdomyosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma (2,3). Because of their low prevalence in the paediatric age and the absence of specific signs and symptoms, primary tracheobronchial tumors are often not suspected or misdiagnosed.…”
