Space-occupying lesions within the fetal thorax are associated with poor perinatal outcome. Therefore some investigators have suggested in utero treatment. We describe a case of a fetus with a large intrathoracic mass that was noted to decrease markedly in size as gestation advanced. This case cautions against aggressive antenatal treatment.
