Abstract
We report a case of mediastinal mass caused by a fungal infection in an immunocompetent child. The patient presented with superior mediastinal syndrome along with a swelling in the chest wall. Cytology and culture demonstrated Aspergillus flavus. The child was treated with voriconazole, which resulted in clinical response.
