Pulmonary blastoma: report of two cases

A Ghaffar, SV Vaidynathan, A Elguezabal and BS Levowitz

Pulmonary blastoma is a rare primary malignancy of the lung originating from multipotential pulmonary blastema. Two cases of this tumor are reported emphasizing lack of correlation between the microscopic appearance and the clinical course. There are no specific clinical features that differentiate this tumor from the more common lung neoplasms. Surgical resection is the preferred treatment; the merits of radiotherapy and chemotherapy have not yet been established. Prognosis after adequate resection appears no better than for other pulmonary malignancies.
