    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Pulmonary blastoma, a rare lung cancer, can arise from mesothelial lesions. This report details two cases, highlighting the tumor's embryonal origin and aggressive behavior.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary oncology
    • Tumorigenesis
    • Mesothelial pathology

    Background:

    • Pulmonary blastoma is a rare malignant lung tumor.
    • Its origin and relationship to mesothelial lesions require further investigation.

    Observation:

    • Case 1: A 29-year-old male developed pulmonary blastoma 31 months post-excision of a presumed benign mesothelial cyst.
    • Case 2: A 74-year-old female presented with multiple peripheral lung tumors over 19 years, evolving from fibrous hamartomas to sarcomatous lesions with embryonal components.

    Findings:

    • Morphologic and locational evidence suggests an embryonal-mesothelial origin for the first tumor.
    • Recurrent tumors in the second case showed primitive stromal features without differentiation.

    Implications:

    • These cases suggest a potential link between mesothelial lesions and pulmonary blastoma development.
    • Understanding the embryonal origin is crucial for diagnosis and treatment of this aggressive lung cancer.
