Abstract

Abstract: Pulmonary cysts and neoplasms, especially congenital or occurring at a young age, should be thoroughly investigated. Evaluation for DICER1 mutations should be performed if there is a family history of this syndrome, the lung cyst/neoplasm is a pleuropulmonary blastoma, or other clinical manifestations of this syndrome are present or develop.
