Primary pulmonary malignancies are rare in childhood. The most common, pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB), has an incidence of 25-50 cases per year in the United States (Knight and et al., 2019) [1]. The majority of children are diagnosed with PPB before the age of four years. PPB is divided into subtypes I, Ir (type I-regressed), II, and III, which correlates to the age of diagnosis and patient prognosis [2,3]. Here we report an unusual presentation of PPB in a teen-aged female who presented with a one month history of a non-productive cough.
原发性肺恶性肿瘤在儿童时期较为罕见。最常见的是胸膜肺母细胞瘤（PPB），在美国每年的发病率为25 - 50例（奈特等人，2019年）[1]。大多数儿童在4岁之前被诊断出患有PPB。PPB分为I型、Ir（I型消退型）、II型和III型，这与诊断年龄和患者预后相关[2,3]。在此，我们报告一名青少年女性PPB的不寻常表现，该患者有1个月干咳病史。
