A report is presented of the occurrence of peripheral pulmonary stenosis due to tumour compression in a 12 year-old boy. The tumour was identified as a liposarcoma of the mediastinum, which caused complete occlusion of the left pulmonary artery and stenosis of the right pulmonary artery. This was followed by an extreme increase in prestenotic pressure with right heart failure.
