Abstract

Pulmonary blastoma, a rare primary lung neoplasm occurring in both children and adults, is histologically distinct from other lung tumors. A patient is described who presented with massive and persistent hemothorax. Based on experience, it is possible that in advanced cases of this tumor, more vigorous chemotherapy is needed against both histologic elements.
