Abstract
Intrathoracic hemangiomas are extremely uncommon. These have previously been described as arising from the diaphragm, bronchus, trachea, and pericardium. They may also arise within the lung itself. We present a unique case of giant congenital pulmonary hemangioma causing respiratory distress in a newborn.
