Medical condition / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neuroendocrine hyperplasia is rare and poorly understood lung condition which causes abnormal growth pulmonary neuroendocrine cells in the lungs. It is a progressive hyperplastic process that ultimately results in obliterative fibrosis of predominantly the pulmonary tree (the lungs). It is characterized by tachypnea, hypoxemia, and retractions.[1] It is predominantly found in infants and children younger than 2 years of age[2]. There is no currently recognized treatment for the relentless progression of this disorder.
