Abstract
Pulmonary blastoma is a rare tumor of the lung. It is a mixed tumor containing malignant epithelial and connective tissue elements. It usually presents late as a large tumor in the periphery of the lung. The tumor has a poor prognosis. The treatment of choice is surgical excision. Adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy is given for metastatic disease. We present a case of pulmonary blastoma and the literature is reviewed
