Organized pneumonia mimicking pediatric chest wall tumors

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.
