Abstract
Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare and aggressive dysontogenic neoplasm, occurring in children under the age of 6 years in most cases. CT and MRI findings are well-known, a mixed solid and cystic lesion with variable contrast enhancement and a necrotic centre. We report the radiologic features of type III PPB case.
