We describe an infant presenting in the perinatal period with marked tachypnoea. An enlarged thymus, demonstrated on chest radiograph and CT, was associated with small-volume, non-compliant lungs. Other causes of pulmonary malfunction and maldevelopment were excluded. Conclusion Thymic enlargement is unusually associated with neonatal respiratory distress but should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
