Abstract

An isolated mass protruding from the chest wall of the fetus was visualized by ultrasonography. Doppler velocimetry over the mass revealed low-resistance blood flow through cystic areas, implicating a highly vascular lesion. An operative delivery was performed to avoid possible rupture of the mass.
