    Author: Valderrama E, Saluja G, Shende A, Lanzkowsky P, Berkman J.
    Journal: Am J Surg Pathol; 1978 Dec; 2(4):415-22. PubMed ID: 736215.
    Abstract:
    Pulmonary blastoma is a rare tumor of the lung. Although it has been stated that this is predominantly a tumor of adults, a review of the 42 cases published to date reveals that it is a disease which occurs with some frequency in children. The tumor is relatively benign compared to pulmonary carcinosarcoma. Of the eight cases previously described in children, three are known to have survived and to be free of disease 10 months, 3 and 8 years after surgical resection. We report two additional cases of pulmonary blastoma in children followed for 34 and 26 months without any evidence of recurrence or metastases.
