Type I PPB is a delicate multilocularcyst with variable numbers of primitive mesenchymal cells beneath a benign epithelial surface. Rhabdomyoblasts and cartilage nodules are seen in 49% and 40% of cases, respectively.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
From a multilocularcyst, PPB has the potential to progress to a high-grade multipatterned primitive sarcoma. More than 65% of all affected children have a heterozygous germline mutation in DICER1.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Two patients with type I PPB and 4 patients with type II PPB underwent surgical and chemotherapeutic treatment and all are alive and without recurrence 1 to 13 years after treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This finding supports early resection of these lesions rather than observation or treatment with nonoperative strategies.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The girl died 4 1/2 months after initial evidence of disease because of brain metastasis, indicating a very aggressive neoplasm unresponsive to treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We report a case of PPB in a young adult and its recurrence in the pancreas after primary surgical treatment and adjuvant chemotherapy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Here we described the main characteristics of these patients, the diagnostic methods, and treatment modalities used.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Recurrences after type I PPB are usually advanced type II or type III neoplasms with a poor prognosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
T'he prognosis is extremely poor with frequent metastasis to the brain and bone. A 4-year-old boy successfully treated with multimodal therapy despite unfavorable prognostic factors is presented.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This case reiterates the importance of considering this diagnosis prior to surgical intervention, to improve the long term prognosis of this aggressive disease.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Despite the use of chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy, the prognosis is poor. Here we report on the case of a 2.5 year-old boy presenting with pneumothorax who turned out to have a right hemithoracic mass.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Keeping in mind the moderate prognosis of PPB in children, accurate assessment and treatment of PPB require a team approach of oncology, radiology and surgery to establish new therapeutic guidelines in the future.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The etiology and treatment of the uncommon combination of pleuropulmonary blastoma and thyroid carcinoma is discussed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It has been hypothesized that loss of heterozygosity of DICER1 in lung epithelium is a non-cell autonomous etiology of PPB and a critical pathway that regulates lung development; however, there are no known direct targets of epithelial microRNAs (miRNAs[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathogenic germline and somatic mutations of DICER1 in NCMH establishes that the genetic etiology of NCMH is similar to PPB, despite the disparate biological potential of these neoplasms.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract Pleuropulmonary blastomas (PPB) are rare intrathoracic tumors that can develop in children with preexisting pulmonary cystic lesions, inferring that the prophylactic resection of such cysts might prevent the onset of these malignant tumors.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Three courses of postoperative chemotherapy with 2 different regimens were ineffective in preventing multiple metastases of the lung. We then instituted a protocol with irinotecan (CPT-11) and vincristine.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This supports the theory that PPB I may progress to a more aggressive type II with time, and highlights the importance of the adequately treating the PPB I to prevent this transformation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
As complete tumour ablation is essential to prevent local recurrence and allow any chance of survival, the favourable outcome of our patient is probably due to the radical resection of the neoplasm.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Every attempt should be made to remove completely all cystic remnants to prevent reccurence of PPB. In case of reccurence, Type I recurrences frequently progress to more serious Type II or III disease.[telemedicina.med.muni.cz]
