    Author: Guibert N, Attias D, Pontier S, Berjaud J, Lavialle-Guillautreau V, Didier A.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2011 Jul; 92(1):351-3. PubMed ID: 21718876.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 22-year-old woman suffering from mature mediastinal teratoma, revealed by trichoptysis, which is an exceptional, but pathognomonic symptom of intrathoracic teratomas. Only eight cases of trichoptysis are reported, none of them involved a mediastinal localization. We present the endoscopic and radiologic presentation, its surgical management, and histologic particularities.
