ABSTRACT

Background: In children, acute affectation of the thorax is presented during pleuropulmonary infection, bronchopulmonary malformation and malignant tumors. We had the opportunity to treat patients with malignant tumors in the thorax and we present our findings.
Clinical cases: We studied three patients with the diagnosis of pleuropulmonary blastoma. All patients were being treated with surgical resection for the neoplasm and one patient received pneumonectomy. Diagnosis of blastoma was confirmed histologically and one had positive histochemical markers to vimentin and S-100. Only one patient died.
Conclusions: 1. Different cellular types of pleuropulmonary blastoma were confirmed using histochemical markers. 2. The pediatric surgeon facing a case of a child with acute thorax affectation due to pleuropulmonary blastoma must undertake thoracotomy on an urgent basis.
