Castleman disease: surgical cure in pediatric patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND/PURPOSE:Prenatal tracheal occlusion (TO) has been shown to accelerate lung growth in animal models and models of pulmonary hypoplasia. However, these models may not mimic early events in human congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The authors previously have developed a model of TO in the rat. The purpose o...
