  • Title: A ruptured giant mediastinal mature teratoma mimicking an encapsulated empyema.
    Author: Zhang J, Zhu X, Jiang M, Lv Y.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2022 Jan 06; 34(1):159-161. PubMed ID: 34999805.
    Abstract:
    A female patient with a right-sided encapsulated pleural effusion was misdiagnosed preoperatively as having an encapsulated empyema. However, a giant mass in the anterior mediastinum was found via thoracoscopy, and a mature teratoma was detected based on the pathological result. Herein we report this case and provide lessons for cardiothoracic surgeons.
