We present the case of a 28-h-old female infant born at 37 weeks of gestation with a rare congenital malformation consisting of a pentad of findings: ectopia cordis, a midline supraumbilical wall defect, a defect of the lower sternum, absent pericardium, and an anterior diaphragmatic defect. This constellation of defects is known as the pentalogy of Cantrell. Additional autopsy findings included a bilateral cleft lip and palate, bilateral pulmonary hypoplasia, an atrial septal defect, and a patent ductus arteriosus. We present this case because of its rarity and discuss the pathologic findings.
