Abstract
Pleuropulmonary blastoma is a rare malignant neoplasm which originates from either the lungs or pleura. Pleuropulmonary blastoma usually develops in the first decade of life, mostly younger than 5 years old and shows aggressive biological behavior. Pleuropulmonary blastoma is discriminated from classic pulmonary blastoma of adulthood by its morphological features like primitive mesenchymal and sarcomatous component without carcinomatous portions. To our knowledge, report of pleuropulmonary blastoma in adulthood is very rare. Our case support the possibility that primitive neoplasm recognized as pediatric tumors can develop in adulthood. We report a case of surgical experience of pleuropulmonary blastoma which developed in 21 years old man with literature review.
