摘要

Mediastinal masses are not uncommon in childhood. Common mediastinal masses causing compression symptoms are lymphoma and neuroendocrine tumors. Infective etiology is rare, and fungal etiology is not yet reported. A 4-month-old child presented with respiratory distress due to a rapidly growing mediastinal mass with tracheal compression. The child was referred for open tumor biopsy as computed tomography–guided biopsy was difficult. Biopsy revealed chronic inflammatory changes secondary to fungal infection.
