P53 gene mutations in pleuropulmonary blastomas.

Abstract excerpt

Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is rare childhood tumor oniginating from either lung or pleura. Although several cytogenetic changes, such as tisomy 2, trisomy 8, and loss of 17p material, have been reported, evidence of gene mutations is still lacking. Pathologically, PPB shares similarities with rhabdomyosarcoma in which p53 mutations arefrequently detected. Possible implication of p53 mutations in PPB was...
