Key Clinical Message Thoroughly planned labor with immediate postnatal resuscitation and percutaneous decompression is mandatory for a large mediastinal lymphangioma that compromises the cardiopulmonary function, and close observation with the administration of Eppikajutsuto ( TJ ‐28), a Japanese herbal medicine, may be a reasonable treatment, especially when resection of the lesion seems technically challenging.
