Pleuropulmonary blastoma in 3 year old child - A rare case report
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a uncommon, aggressive, dysontogenetic, and malignant tumor of originating from intrathoracic (pulmonary, pleural, or combined) mesenchyme.1,2The purpose of this case report is to increase the general awareness for this entity so as to recognize this rare entity early in its course, since type I tumors (resembling congenital lung cyst) can progress over time to aggressive type II and type III tumors. Therefore, early histological recognition and differentiation from congenital airway malformations like bronchogenic cyst and other benign cysts like duplication cyst, neurenteric cyst are very important.
