Primary pulmonary rhabdomyosarcoma in childhood: Clinico‐biologic features in two cases with review of the literature—erratum

Abstract: , we reported on two cases of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) of the lung arising from normal lung tissue without previous cystic malformations [1]. The histology of these two cases was recently reviewed by the consultants of the International Pleuropulmonary Blastoma Registry. Together with those consultants, we want to amend the original report. After pathologic review, these cases are now classified as Type III pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) rather than primary pulmonary RMS. Although these patients received initial… Show more

“…Rhabdomyosarcomatous areas in PPB are identical to embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, and cases of PPB have been misdiagnosed as rhabdomyosarcomas arising in a congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) (Pai et al 2007) or in normal lung (Schiavetti et al 2009). Recognition of high grade blastemal elements, cartilage, spindle cell sarcoma, or diffuse-marked anaplasia facilitates the correct diagnosis of PPB in a pediatric lung mass.…”
