Adolescent with mediastinal teratoma and pericardial involvement
Journal Title: Revista Información Científica - Year 2019, Vol 98, Issue 2
Abstract
A 14-year-old patient with a history of health who attended the clinic due to chest pain that lasted six days without irradiation and with absence of fever, dyspnea or other symptoms. The chest radiograph showed an anterior and middle mediastinal mass that was confirmed with computed tomography and where the location and imaginal characteristics suggested the diagnosis of mediastinal teratoma. The excision of the tumor that also compromised part of the pericardium was performed, confirming histologically by pathological anatomy the presence of a mature cystic mediastinal teratoma.
