Type II pleuropulmonary blastoma in a 2-year-old girl: a case report.

We present a case of PPB in a 2-year-old girl who was brought to the pediatric clinic for fever, cough and respiratory distress. Imaging studies showed a heterogeneous solid-cystic mass (12∕9∕11 cm) in the upper right pulmonary lobe. Through right thoracotomy, a specimen was obtained, the histopathological and immunohistochemical features of the specimen being suggestive for type II PPB. Aggressive chemotherapy and right pneumonectomy resulted in control of disease, the patient being currently in complete remission four years after the diagnosis. PMID: 32239109 [PubMed - in process]
