Abstract

In spite of its scarce frequency tumors of the fetal thoracic cavity constitute weird cases described in the world literature. Among them hamartomas, lymphangiomas, fibrosis tumors and mediastinal teratomas have been reported according to clinical or necropsy findings because no matter the undoubtedly benign histology, they may be together with some other anomalies, such as, the pulmonary sequestrum, pulmonary hypoplasia, cystic lungs, hydrops fetalis and hydrothorax. In this work it is presented the necropsy finding of a male fetus of 1360 grams and 27 weeks of gestation interrupted by the prenatal diagnosis of right diaphragmatic hernia, noticing during the necropsy, the integrity of the diaphragmatic muscle and the presence of a solid and pediculated tumor in the right thoracic cavity with a final histological research of harmatoma joined by moderated right lung hypoplasia.
