Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) type IV

Admission history and physical examination were notable only for premature birth and pneumonia at 6 months of age, as well as a slightly asymmetrical chest with prominence of the left hemithorax. At this point, Hodgkin's lymphoma was the working diagnosis and fine needle aspiration was performed under CT guidance. The specimen obtained was not diagnostic and a thoracoscopic/open biopsy was scheduled to be performed in 2 days. He was transferred to the general pediatric floor but had to return to the PICU on the following day because of dyspnea and a mild increase in neck swelling. His cardiac examination remained normal.
