Abstract
Mesenchymal hamartomas of the chest wall are unusual tumours diagnosed in neonates. They mostly resolve spontaneously hence conservative management has been advocated. Some compress vital structures in the thoracic cavity or bleed warranting surgical intervention. We present a neonate with mesenchymal hamartoma of the chest wall presenting as unilateral multifocal lesions with life threatening complications. He responded well to surgical intervention and was successfully discharged.
