Abstrakt:	Primary pulmonary malignancies are rare in childhood. The most common, pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB), has an incidence of 25-50 cases per year in the United States (Knight and et al., 2019) [1]. The majority of children are diagnosed with PPB before the age of four years. PPB is divided into subtypes I, Ir (type I-regressed), II, and III, which correlates to the age of diagnosis and patient prognosis [2,3]. Here we report an unusual presentation of PPB in a teen-aged female who presented with a one month history of a non-productive cough.
