Abstract

Pulmonary blastoma is a rare primary lung malignancy consisting of mesenchymal and epithelial components resembling the fetal lung. We report a case of pulmonary blastoma with solitary hemorrhagic brain metastasis in a 32-year-old man. This metastatic lesion was composed mainly of hemorrhagic high density and central necrotic low density areas; on CT it showed partial contrast enhancement and was thus impossible to distinguish from other hemorrhagic lesions.
