    Abstract:
    Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is a type of minimal-access surgery. The nature of the surgery means that there are limitations on the size of a tumor that can be removed through an access incision. Herein, we report our experience removing a giant teratoma (16 × 14 × 13 cm in size) from the anterior mediastinum of a young girl. We employed video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery to remove the teratoma through a mini-thoracotomy following the extraction of the cystic components.
