Popis: Adult pleuropulmonary blastoma is an uncommon mesenchymal tumor of the peripheral lung parenchyma composed of undifferentiated cells. The differential diagnosis with Askin-Rosaï's tumor, an extrapulmonary pleuroparietal neuroectodermal tumor, may be a difficult task. We propose a similar therapeutic approach for these two malignant conditions: surgical excision associated with chemotherapy and autologous bone marrow transplant with adjuvant radiotherapy in case of recurrence. These two entities have many epidemiological, clinical, histological and immunohistochemical similarities.
