Pleuropulmonary Blastoma in the Area of a Diagnosed Congenital Lung Cyst

Pleuropulmonary blastoma is a rare and aggressive neoplasm
typically occurring in young children, even in
newborns. Onset of the disease can be identified in the
area of a previously diagnosed lung cyst. We report a case
of a child previously diagnosed as having a right congenital
lung cyst who had a pleuropulmonary blastoma
developing in the same area. He underwent surgical
resection of the neoplasm followed by chemotherapy.
After 20 months he is alive and well.
