Primary lung tumours in children are very rare, but bronchial carcinoid tumours comprise 50-80% of the malignant pulmonary neoplasms diagnosed in children and young adults. Most patients with bronchial carcinoid tumours present with wheezing, cough and chest pain, while chest X-ray often shows a tumour mass and consolidation of the corresponding lung tissue. Because of low clinical suspicion and unspecific symptoms of presentation diagnosis may be delayed. This case report describes a bronchial carcinoid tumour in an 11-year-old male presenting with persistent asthma symptoms despite treatment and recurrent pneumonia.

A 4-year-and-10-month-old girl presented with an abundant vaginal bleeding. She had recurrent vaginitis with vaginal discharge for 5 months. There was no history of urinary frequency, abdominal pains or sexual abuse. Her mother had taken her to paediatrician who prescribed several antibiotics and vaginal creams with no improvement. She underwent gynaecologic examination, blood and cultural exams and pelvic sonography. An abdomen X-ray was diagnostic and revealed the presence of an hairclip.
