Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Thoracic Oncology

Background:

  • Neonatal thoracic masses present diagnostic challenges.
  • Diaphragmatic tumors are rare in neonates.
  • Hemangiomas typically affect the skin or liver.

Observation:

  • A rare case of a neonatal hemangioma originating from the diaphragm is presented.
  • The infant was diagnosed with this congenital diaphragmatic tumor.
  • The mass was managed, and the infant was monitored post-treatment.

Findings:

  • The first reported neonatal case of diaphragmatic hemangioma was successfully managed.
  • The patient showed no signs of recurrence 25 months post-diagnosis.
  • Complete resolution or stable disease was achieved.

Implications:

  • Diaphragmatic hemangiomas should be included in the differential diagnosis for neonatal thoracic masses.
  • Early recognition and management are crucial for favorable outcomes.
  • This case expands the understanding of rare congenital tumors in neonates.
