Primary pulmonary blastoma of monophasic variety- diagnosis and management

Abstract

Pulmonary blastoma is a rare primary lung neoplasm, in that monophasic variety is far too rare. There are no specific clinical features seen for pulmonary blastoma; computed tomography and histopathology are diagnostic. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice; however, adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy may be required in large and aggressive tumors. © 2013 Mistry et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
