A case of pulmonary blastoma is described in a man dying at the age of 50 from hepatic and cerebral metastases. Eleven previously reported cases are reviewed and the histogenesis is discussed. It is concluded that these rare tumours are a distinct form of pulmonary carcinosarcoma in which the epithelial element is an adenocarcinoma. It is this that gives it its characteristic and probably coincidental histological resemblance to foetal lung and the evidence for a blastomatous origin is regarded as insufficient.
本文描述了一例肺母细胞瘤病例，患者为一名50岁男性，死于肝转移和脑转移。文中回顾了此前报道的11例病例，并对其组织发生学进行了讨论。得出的结论是，这些罕见肿瘤是肺肉瘤样癌的一种独特形式，其中上皮成分是腺癌。正是这一点使其在组织学上与胎儿肺具有特征性且可能是巧合的相似之处，而认为其具有母细胞瘤起源的证据并不充分。
