چکیده
Pulmonary blastoma is a rare series of malignant lung tumor, which contains three categories: classic biphasic pulmonary blastoma, pluropulmonary blastoma, and well-differentiated fetal adenocarcinoma. In this study, a 19-year old female suffering with classic biphasic pulmonary blastoma and metastases in brain and axilla was presented with special interest in clinicopathological presentations, immunohistochemical features, and molecular characterizations. However, this case was misdiagnosed initially with small biopsy specimen. Comprehensive management should be used for the treatment of this malignancy.

We describe a case of pulmonary blastoma, a rare primary lung malignancy which affects a younger population. This tumor contains both mesenchymal and epithelial elements. Pulmonary blastoma tends to relapse locally and metastasizes mainly in the first few years. It has a poor 5-year prognosis, and shows a potentid radio-chemosensitivity. Because these tumors are considered malignant, surgic...

متن کاملA patient with classic biphasic pulmonary blastoma harboring CD74–ROS1 fusion responds to crizotinib
Pulmonary blastoma (PB) is a rare aggressive lung malignancy with a poor prognosis. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for localized disease, and there are no standard treatment guidelines for metastatic PB. Due to its rareness, its molecular profile has not been elucidated. We present the first case of classic biphasic pulmonary blastoma (CBPB) with CD74-ROS1 rearrangement in a 44-y...
