Both pulmonary hypoplasia and mediastinal teratoma are very uncommon conditions in the neonatal period. We performed a postmortem and pathological examination after a term neonate with a huge right superior mediastinal mass died because of severe aggravating respiratory difficulty immediately after birth. We found that the baby's respiratory failure was due to congenital pulmonary hypoplasia, and the right superior mediastinal mass observed by X-ray was a huge mature mediastinal teratoma. Therefore, neonatologists should consider the possibility of congenital lung maldevelopment in infants with serious respiratory difficulties that occur soon after birth, while a shadow manifesting as a large thymus gland by X-ray may indicate a type of mediastinal tumor.
