Pulmonary Blastoma: A Rare Form of Lung Cancer

Abstract: Of all primary lung malignancies, non-small cell lung cancer remains the most common and comprises approximately 85% of all diagnoses. Pulmonary blastoma (PB) is an extremely rare and aggressive neoplasm accounting for approximately 0.25-0.5% of all primary lung cancers with roughly 350 cases reported in the literature[1]. Here, we discuss a case of PB in a middle-aged smoker presenting with subacute dyspnea and found to have locally aggressive disease at initial diagnosis.
