Syndromic presentation of a pleuropulmonary blastoma associated with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation. A case report

J Pediatr Surg. 2007 Oct;42(10):1772-5. doi: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2007.06.022.

Abstract

Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare malignant mesenchymal pediatric tumor with a well-recognized association with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM). Recently, it has been described in a patient with CCAM, multiple jejunal polyps, and cystic nephroma. We describe a similar case of a unique presentation of PPB, arising in association with CCAM and with a history of intussception caused by multiple small bowel polyps.
