Pulmonary blastoma in a child: Report of a case with cytological findings.

ABSTRACT

Pulmonary blastoma is an uncommon tumour. It constitutes <0.1% of all resected lung cancers. It is even more rare in children with only a few case reports describing this entity in them. Pulmonary blastoma should not be confused with pleuropulmonary blastoma which is a paediatric lung tumour with different morphology and better outcome. Here we take the opportunity of describing pulmonary blastoma in a 3 years old child along with its cytological findings.
