Pulmonary blastoma in an adult presenting as a chronic loculated effusion: a diagnostic problem.
Abstract
A 33 year old woman posed a diagnostic problem for two years with recurrent left sided chest pain and radiographic features suggestive of a loculated effusion. Diagnosis was finally made at thoracotomy which revealed an encapsulated cystic mass. Histological examination confirmed a rare monomorphic pulmonary blastoma.
