The incidence of pleuropulmonary blastoma ranges between 0.25 and 0.5% of primary lung tumors making this entity a rare primary malignant lung tumor. Case Report: A two-month-old male neonate was referred from a regional hospital with a three-day history of cough, fever and shortness of breath. No previous medical history reported.
