description

Pediatric surgeons are frequently faced with a variety of indications regarding the lung. Pulmonary lesions found on imaging studies may be congenital, malignant, infectious, or inflammatory in nature. Often, only a biopsy can make the diagnosis and guide subsequent management. In other cases, resection may be curative.
