Pleuropulmonary blastoma is an extremely rare lung neoplasm exclusive to children under 5 years of age. It presents a diagnostic challenge both prenatally and in early childhood due to its similarity to benign lung cysts, which are managed differently.

We detail the prenatal imaging that facilitated counseling and delivery management in addition to the correlating postnatal imaging.
