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.
肺母细胞瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤。它在所有切除的肺癌中占比不到0.1%。在儿童中更为罕见,仅有少数病例报告描述过该实体。肺母细胞瘤不应与胸膜肺母细胞瘤相混淆,后者是一种具有不同形态且预后较好的儿童肺部肿瘤。在此,我们借此机会描述一名3岁儿童的肺母细胞瘤及其细胞学检查结果。
