[Pleuropulmonary blastoma: a case report].
Pulmonary blastoma is a rare seen malignant tumor. It is generally reported in adults. The tumor including immature mesenchimal and/or epithelial structures is morphologically similar to fetal lung tissue. In this study, a male patient having been operated is presented because of the mass found in his chest X-ray. The lesion is histopathologically reported as a pleuropulmonary blastoma. The literature is reviewed because this case has a bad prognosis and is rarely seen.
