Mediastinal Mature Teratoma with Intrapulmonary Involvement Presented with Scapular Pain.

Abstract

          Mediastinal mature teratoma is the most common benign germ cell tumor. The mature teratomas are commonly asymptomatic and rarely rupture into the adjacent organs. We report a 9-year old girl presented with scapular pain. Lung abscess and tuberculous lymphadenitis was diagnosed and treated medically. But her clinical symptoms are not resolved. Follow-up CT chest with contrast revealed the same. Finally, she underwent surgical resection. Histologic diagnosis is mediastinal mature teratoma with intrapulmonary involvement. After surgery her clinical condition was improved.
