ABSTRACT
A seven months old male infant visited Severance Children's Hospital for evaluation of anterior mediastinal mass. With chest computed tomography (CT) image and biopsy, precursor T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma was suspected but the ultrasonography guided biopsy specimen was insufficient to confirm the disease. Because there was a life-threatening risk to perform open biopsy to the small infant, we started chemotherapy empirically. The mass decreased, however, the lesion increased again and did not respond to the drugs. Finally we decided to resect the anterior mass with sternostomy and the pathology report finally resulted in thymoma.
