ABSTRACT

The case of a female premature newborn is presented with a tumor in neck and severe perinatal asphyxia that required mechanical ventilation from birth; she died at 28 days deu to heart and renal failure. Surgical resection of cervical tumor was not possible due mechanical ventilation and persistent hemodynamic alteration. Autopsy revealed a mixed tumor of germinal cells, persistence of ductus arteriosus, permeable foramen ovale, congenital, hydrocephalus, dysgenetic corpus callosum, and four lobes in right lung.
