  • Title: Congenital posterior mediastinal teratoma--a case report.
    Author: Harun MH, Yaacob I.
    Journal: Singapore Med J; 1993 Dec; 34(6):567-8. PubMed ID: 8153729.
    Abstract:
    Almost all mediastinal teratomas are found in the anterior mediastinum. We describe a case of a 41-day-old baby girl who had teratoma in the posterior mediastinum. She presented at the age of 6 days with the problem of progressive jaundice and was found to have septicaemia. During septic screening, chest X-ray revealed a mass in the right mediastinum. Ultrasound and CT-scan of the chest showed a multiloculated mass at the right posterior mediastinum. Fine needle aspiration biopsy of the mass confirmed a teratoma.
