Abstract: (3995 Views)
We describe a case of pulmonary blastoma, a rare primary lung malignancy
which affects a younger population. This tumor contains both mesenchymal and
epithelial elements. Pulmonary blastoma tends to relapse locally and metastasizes
mainly in the first few years. It has a poor 5-year prognosis, and shows a potentid
radio-chemosensitivity. Because these tumors are considered malignant, surgical
excision is recommended.
In this paper, we describe a case of pulmonary blastoma in a 3 year old boy with
a brief review of literature.
