Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is an extremely rare and malignant pediatric lung tumor. Purely cystic PPB has a more favorable prognosis than solid PPB, but may be difficult to distinguish from a certain type of "benign" congenital pulmonary airway malformation before and during surgery. The influence of tumor rupture on long life prognosis has not been clarified in detail.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 5-month-old boy underwent emergency transfer from another hospital due to a left thoracic cystic lesion and left pneumothorax detected on chest radiography performed for persistent wheeze and cough. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the chest revealed marked deviation of the mediastinum to the right due to a giant cystic lesion and pneumothorax. Thoracotomy was performed on hospital day 2. A cystic lesion had developed from the distal alveolar region of lower lobe of the left lung and the tumor showed a tiny adhesion to the left diaphragm and a tiny rupture near the adhesion. Partial lung excision including the cyst and scraping of the adhesion were performed. Histopathological investigations revealed immature blast cell-like mesenchymal cells and differentiated striated muscle cells in a dense cambium layer were found under the epithelium of the cystic lesion. Type I PPB was diagnosed.
CONCLUSIONS: Surgery should be performed with the possibility of type I PPB in mind when an extrapulmonary cystic lung lesion is found. Since issues such as the pathogenesis and long-term prognosis of ruptured cases remain unclear, continued careful follow-up of this case will be required.
