TODO - A 62-year-old patient diagnosed with pulmonary blastoma with
submandibular, scrotum and adrenal metastases was admitted to Sotiria
General Hospital in Athens. No other such case has been published to
date. The patient started receiving chemotherapy, but the scrotum
metastasis grew rapidly and erupted. This led to sepsis despite surgical
excision of infected and necrotic tissues and intravenous antibiotics.
Treatment strategy in pulmonary blastoma should be defined by a
multidisciplinary team, and surgical treatment should be considered as
quickly as possible when such a tumor is suspected. Copyright (C) 2011
