Abstract :
Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) typically presents in young children, most younger than 5 years, as dysontogenetic neoplasm. It has poor prognosis with three different subtypes: cystic (type I), combined cystic and solid (type II) and solid (type III). Our patient was admitted with dyspnea and was diagnosed at 23 years of age. He was evaluated with onchoscopic guided biopsy and diagnosed as PPB by histopathology and IHC. Immunohistochemical studies showed vimentin positive. Complete resection is proposed to be one of the important prognostic factors in literature.
