A 48-year-old man with dyspnea, cough, and fever was found to have a diffuse ground-glass pulmonary lesion without lymphadenopathy on chest X-ray. The lesion shifted to the peripheral lung zones 2 months later when transbronchial biopsy demonstrated noncaseating granulomas with Langhans type giant cells. After 6 more months, prominent bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy and highly elevated serum angiotensin-converting enzyme confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary sarcoidosis. Such a course is quite rare in that it goes the opposite way of the conventional staging system.

A case is presented of a nine-month-old male infant who presented acutely with an anterior neck and mediastinum mass compressing the trachea. Radiological assessment by ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography suggested the nature of the mass to be a lymphatic malformation (cystic hygroma). The excised specimen was revealed as a mature teratoma. The inability to distinguish between lymphatic malformation and teratoma on multi-imaging modalities confers a risk of mismanaging these lesions with the use of sclerotherapy; surgical excision is the necessary treatment. The potential consequences are discussed.
