1 Aggressive multimodal treatment of pleuropulmonary blastoma
Susan K Parsons, MD, Steven J Fishman, MD, Lidewij E Hoorntje, MD, Diego Jaramillo, MD, Karen C Marcus, MD, Antonio R Perez- Atayde, MD, Harry P Kozakewich, MD, Holcombe E Grier, MD, Robert C Shamberger, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 72, Issue 3, Pages (September 2001) DOI: /S (00)

2 Fig 1 Anteroposterior radiograph of the chest reveals near complete opacification of the right hemithorax by a large mass, which displaces the mediastinum to the left. There is no evidence of rib involvement. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )

3 Fig 2 Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan of the chest shows complete displacement of the hemithorax by a mass. The mass is predominantly cystic laterally but has a solid component medially (arrows). The heart is markedly displaced to the left. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )

4 Fig 3 Coronal T1-weighted image of the chest after chemotherapy shows that most of the mass is of high signal intensity suggesting hemorrhage (arrow). The mediastinum has gone back to its normal position. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )

5 Fig 4 Anteroposterior radiograph on the day of admission shows a very extensive mass occupying almost the entire right hemithorax. It is multilobulated and displaces the heart to the left. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )

6 Fig 5 Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan of the chest shows a multilobulated mass. The central component of the mass is necrotic (arrow). It abuts the heart. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )
