Abstract
An autopsy report of pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is described in a two-and-a-half-year-old male child who died within a few days of starting chemotherapy. Autopsy revealed a large tumor almost occupying the whole of left hemithorax with widespread extension to pleura. The diagnosis was confirmed to be PPB, type III on autopsy.
