  • Title: Ruptured anterior mediastinal teratoma with radiologic, pathologic, and bronchoscopic correlation.
    Author: Escalon JG, Arkin J, Chaump M, Harkin TJ, Wolf AS, Legasto A.
    Journal: Clin Imaging; 2015; 39(4):689-91. PubMed ID: 25863875.
    Abstract:
    While most teratomas are asymptomatic, intrathoracic teratomas can rarely rupture spontaneously causing more alarming symptoms. Ruptured teratoma is a serious clinical entity, and early recognition is crucial for avoidance of further complications and preparation of proper surgical approach. We present a case of ruptured anterior mediastinal teratoma with radiologic, pathologic, and bronchoscopic correlation. This case uniquely illustrates a patient presenting with signs of infection and progressively worsening symptoms, thus emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and the importance of imaging.
