Abstract Thymic hyperplasia is a common finding among newborns, but cyst formation might produce mediastinal symptoms. Lethal outcome is reported when accompanied by massive intrathoracic hemorrhage. The clinical picture in our case was characterized from profuse multiple hemorrhagic foci and respiratory distress syndrome, with an unclear role of the thymic cyst.
