Pleuropulmonary blastoma, a rare entity in childhood
Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare malignant intrathoracic mesenchymal tumour with a variable aggressiveness. It is the most common primary malignancy in the lung during childhood. In this study, we present a case of a 3-year-old male child who complained of persistent dry cough. Radiographs s...

description | Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare malignant intrathoracic mesenchymal tumour with a variable aggressiveness. It is the most common primary malignancy in the lung during childhood. In this study, we present a case of a 3-year-old male child who complained of persistent dry cough. Radiographs suggested the diagnosis of PPB, which was been confirmed by the histo-pathological examination of a biopsy taken from the tumour under CT guidance. This case was reported to emphasise the importance of radiology, whether diagnotic or interventional, in diagnosing rare cases such as PPB. |
