Overview of Botriomycoma in Children with a Central Line: Epidemiology, Risk Factors, Treatments

Botriomycomas are frequent benign tumors in children. Their appearance on the central catheter orifice is a known event in clinical practice, but one that has been little studied. This lesion could lead to changes in pathways and an increase in the number of sepsis events, which would promote thrombosis and thus depletion of venous capital in patients who have been dependent on a central line for many years. This study is a pilot study which will enable us to better identify the risk factors for the development of such a tumour, and to take stock of the different treatments used and their respective efficacy.
