Nonspecific symptoms andmisleading radiologic image may result in misdiagnosis and severe complications. We report the case of a child with a transverse colon necrosis because of strangulation in a misdiagnosed recurrent MH. The child presented with bowel obstruction and repeated chest infections. Colonic necrosis could be avoided by timely diagnosis and repair of MH. This severe and rare occurrence complicating a recurrent MH should be kept in mind in children with respiratory tract infections and vomiting.展开更多

Recurrent pneumonia in the same site should raise suspicion of an obstructing granular cell tumor of the bronchus.We present a 10-year-old girl with an 18-month history of recurrent pneumonia caused by obstruction of the main lingularbronchus by this type of tumor. In our patient,an upper leftlobectomy was only technically feasible instead of a lingulectomy alone because of the spread pulmonary inflammation and the depth of bronchial wall invasion by the tumor. Delayed diagnosis resulted in a more extensive pulmonary resection.展开更多
