Quick Summary:

• Pleuropulmonary Blastoma (PPB) is an aggressive and rare form of lung cancer that is found in children. It is considered to be a related tumor to other childhood tumors such as Wilms tumor, hepatoblastoma, retinoblastoma, and neuroblastoma
• The tumor is characterized by 3 morphological forms that manifest at different ages of the child. These are denoted as type I, type II, and type III Pleuropulmonary Blastomas. The signs and symptoms, complications, treatment, and prognosis slightly differ based on this classification
• The cause of Pleuropulmonary Blastoma formation is currently not well-established, but some tumors are associated with a genetic syndrome known as Pleuropulmonary Blastoma family tumor and dysplasia syndrome
• Pleuropulmonary Blastoma can cause chest pain, breathing difficulties, lung collapse, including metastasis to the central nervous system or to the bones
• Chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy, and other treatment measures may be used for treating Pleuropulmonary Blastoma based on the type of the tumor and assessment of the physician
• The prognosis may depend on many factors including the tumor type, progression of the condition, response to treatment, and overall health of the individual. However, in general, the prognosis of Pleuropulmonary Blastoma is typically guarded

Primarily based on their morphology, Pleuropulmonary Blastoma is subdivided into the following 3 categories:

• Pleuropulmonary Blastoma type I, which is purely cystic in nature
• Pleuropulmonary Blastoma type II, which is both cystic and solid in nature
• Pleuropulmonary Blastoma type III, which is purely solid in nature

In some individuals, Pleuropulmonary Blastoma progresses from type I to type II to type III over a period of time. The subdivision takes into account the progression of the tumor, which also has a bearing on the age of the child.
