  • Title: Mediastinal germ cell tumour masquerading as loculated pleural effusion.
    Author: Chawla G, Ish P, Garg A, Deokar K.
    Journal: Adv Respir Med; 2020; 88(4):360-361. PubMed ID: 32869271.
    Abstract:
    Benign mediastinal teratomas often discovered while patients are still asymptomatic. Almost all arise in the anterosuperior mediastinal compartment. Most symptoms result from compression of adjacent structures. We report a case of a large teratoma arising from the anterior mediastinum that presented a confusing clinical picture of loculated pleural effusion which was successfully diagnosed and treated by surgical excision.
