Popis:	Pleuropulmonary blastoma, although rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of children who present with a pleural effusion and symptoms of respiratory tract infection when the empyema fails to respond to medical management. A case of a 2-year-old boy with this rapidly growing tumor is reported. The treatment and outcome of pleuropulmonary blastoma in children is reviewed.
