Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is a life-threating event in pediatric especially under 3 years of age. Chest radiography and computed tomography are the most available imaging modalities and rigid bronchoscopy is the treatment of choice. Sometimes incidental findings may be detected in the course of FBA management. In this study we report a case of 4-year-old girl who was admitted due to sudden onset of cough and cyanosis. Based on history and examination, diagnosis of foreign body aspiration was made but chest radiograph showed a round mass in the right upper hemithorax. The Foreign body was removed with Rigid bronchoscopy then the mediastinal mass was surgically removed completely. Pathological study reported a neuroblastic tumor.
