Pulmonary blastoma is a rare primary neoplasm of the lung. Approximately 25% of the reported cases have occurred in pediatric patients. The authors found 45 cases of these tumors in children aged < or = 16 years, and report two more cases of pulmonary blastoma--in a 3 1/2-year-old boy and a 22-month-old girl. Because these tumors are considered malignant, surgical excision is recommended.
肺母细胞瘤是一种罕见的原发性肺肿瘤。报告病例中约25%发生于儿科患者。作者发现45例年龄小于或等于16岁儿童的此类肿瘤,并报告另外两例肺母细胞瘤病例——分别为一名3岁半男孩和一名22个月大的女孩。由于这些肿瘤被认为是恶性的,建议手术切除。
