The association of pleuropulmonary blastoma and cystic nephroma is an uncommon entity, with only 4 cases of such an association in the same patient described in English literature. We report a 5th histologically documented case in a 32-month-old boy. The boy underwent a pulmonary biopsy that showed a pleuropulmonary blastoma and a nephrectomy that showed a cystic nephroma. The pleuropulmonary mass showed an important regression with postbiopsy chemotherapy, allowing subsequent tumorectomy. To date very little is known about this rare entity, and a genetic link between these 2 tumors is hypothesized.
胸膜肺母细胞瘤与囊性肾瘤的关联是一种罕见情况，英文文献中仅描述了4例同一患者同时存在这两种关联的病例。我们报告了第5例经组织学证实的病例，患者为一名32个月大的男孩。该男孩接受了肺活检，结果显示为胸膜肺母细胞瘤，还进行了肾切除术，结果显示为囊性肾瘤。胸膜肺肿块在活检后化疗后出现显著消退，从而得以进行后续的肿瘤切除术。迄今为止，对于这种罕见情况知之甚少，人们推测这两种肿瘤之间存在遗传联系。
