Abstract
Case histories of three patients are reported, in whom adenomas of the respiratory tract produced dangerous prolonged morbidity in children before correct diagnosis was made. In all children with ususual wheezing disorders or recurrent pulmonary infections, the possible diagnosis of adenoma should be entertained. The proper treatment of adenomas of the respiratory tract in children is surgical excision of the tumor and of the permanently damaged lung tissue. Early diagnosis will reduce the incidence of pulmonary destruction and the possibility of metastasis.
