Abstract

Mediastinal lipoblastoma can be a significant cause of upper respiratory obstruction and respiratory distress in children. The potential for tracheal infiltration, as seen in this case, has not been previously reported and can pose a life-threatening risk. Recognizing and understanding this rare presentation is essential for timely diagnosis and effective management of this condition.
