摘要
Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is an extremely rare intrathoracic neoplasm of early childhood with an unfavorable outcome. In this article, two children with PPB associated with pre-existing pulmonary cysts are presented. It is emphasized that surgical excision is the treatment of choice for all pulmonary cysts.
