Abstract: We report the case of a preterm newborn with a large cystic
abdominal mass diagnosed prenatally, which caused respiratory impairment at
birth. The mass was an ovarian cyst and was successfully excised on the second
postnatal day. We review cystic abdominal masses in the fetus and newborn from
diagnostic and therapeutic viewpoints.
