Popis: | Biphasic pulmonary blastoma is a rare but lethal type of lung malignancy with characteristic histology of both epithelial and mesenchymal components. Previously reported cases have been limited to presentation at advanced stages, suggesting that the clinical course of the disease is usually aggressive. Here, we report a case of incidental diagnosis of biphasic pulmonary blastoma by imaging surveillance in a patient previously treated for adenocarcinoma of the lung. The patient was diagnosed with stage 1 disease and underwent successful resection. Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) revealed a high mutation burden, a finding not previously reported in a patient with biphasic pulmonary blastoma. Here, we report a rare case of incidental early diagnosis of biphasic pulmonary blastoma while a patient was undergoing imaging surveillance for primary lung adenocarcinoma. Next‐generation sequencing revealed distinct second primary cancer with a high mutation burden which might have therapeutic implications in further studies. |
