Deskripsi
Pleuropulmonary blastoma is a rare, aggressive, malignant tumor of the lungs or pleura that primarily affects children. Pleuropulmonary blastoma is classified into 3 types based on morphology, including cystic (type I), mixed (type II), or solid (type III). These morphological types correlate with prognosis. In this article, we present a case of type III pleuropulmonary blastoma in a 2-year-old girl. The patient was treated with tumoral resection and chemotherapy; however, she experienced local recurrence and spinal metastasis after 5 months of treatment.
