Abstract
Pulmonary blastoma is a rare primary lung neoplasm occurring in both, children and adults. Treatment of choice is radical surgical resection in curative intention; in inoperable or metastatic disease both, chem otherapy and radiation have been used but objective responses are repo rted in only few cases. We present two cases of metastatic pulmoblasto ma responding to aggressive polychemotherapy.
