Abstract

We describe herein the case of a 2-year-old girl found to have a pulmonary blastoma (PB). The child was admitted to our hospital with the chief complaints of coughing and left-sided chest pain. On admission, a chest X-ray revealed a large mass in the left lung, which measured 10cm in diameter. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a marginally and heterogeneously enhanced tumor filling the left hemithorax. Pathologic findings of the fine-needle aspiration were suggestive of neuroblastoma. Subsequently, a left pneumonectomy with lymph node dissection was performed and histopathological examination confirmed that the tumor was a PB (type III). After the definitive diagnosis was made the patient received combination chemotherapy, and no evidence of recurrence has been seen in the 5 months since surgery.
