| description | A teratoma is a tumour with tissue or organ components resembling normal derivatives of more than one germ layer. We present a
case of mediastinal mature teratoma as they have a low incidence rate. A 45-year-old female presented with right sided chest pain and
paroxysmal attacks of dry cough and fever. A diagnosis of pulmonary hydatid cyst was made on computed tomography (CT) examination.
Microscopic study revealed a tumour composed of elements from all the three germ layers. A diagnosis of mature mediastinal teratoma
was made which is the second common site for germ cell tumours. |
