Two male patients who were admitted to our department with wheezing, and symptoms of recurrent pneumonia, aged 7 and 10 years, were both diagnosed to have endobronchial masses in the right intermediate bronchus.

The aim of this study is to emphasize the bronchial sleeve resection as a technically feasible procedure in the first decade of life.
