A case of biphasic type pulmonary blastoma in a 59-year-old man is reported. Although the tumour was radically resected, there was rapid metastasization to the neck, mediastinum, liver and multiple bones. Despite radiotherapy, the patient died about 14 months postoperatively. Close follow-up and aggressive chemotherapy should be considered for such tumours.
