Abstract
Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare intrathoracic neoplasm, found solely in childhood. The usual symptoms are dyspnea, chest discomfort, recurrent respiratory infections, fever, dry cough, and chest pain. The progress of PPB is usually aggressive and its progress is generally poor. Lymphatic spread to the hilar and mediastinal nodes can occur Distant metastasis is found in brain, bones, and intra-abdominal organs. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice. When the disease Is too extensive for surgical resection, neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be used. We report 2 cases of pleuropulrnonary blastoma in children successfully treated with multimodal therapy.
