ABSTRACT

A 57 year old male smoking patient, with healthy history presented to the clinic for having dry cough for 3 months of evolution. Mediastinal teratoma was diagnosed, a rare tumor at that age. An anterior mediastinal mass was observed on the chest Xray, which was confirmed by computed tomography. The location and imaging characteristics suggested the diagnosis as well. A median sternotomy was performed with tumor excision, the pathological anatomy confirmed the presence of a mature cystic teratoma in the mediastinum.
