AB  - Objectives: To evaluate resected congenital lung and mediastinal lesions among children and their characteristics in a single tertiary hospital.Methods: A retrospective chart review analysis of all patients under 14 years of age who underwent congenital lung and mediastinal lesion resection in a single tertiary center from June 1997 to June 2018 was performed.Results: In total, 108 cases of resected lung and mediastinal lesions were performed from June 1997 to June 2018. Congenital lung and mediastinal lesions were found in 52 (48%) cases. Overall, 23 cases were males (44%) and 29 (56%) were females. The most common histopathology was congenital lobar emphysema.Conclusion: This study provides a 21-year review of the clinical and histopathological features of resected congenital lung and mediastinal lesions in a single center. Congenital lung and mediastinal lesions represented 48% of all resected lesions.
