  • Title: Mature teratoma of the posterior mediastinum.
    Author: Kurosaki Y, Tanaka YO, Itai Y.
    Journal: Eur Radiol; 1998; 8(1):100-2. PubMed ID: 9442139.
    Abstract:
    The vast majority of germ cell tumors in the thorax arise at or near the thymus. We report a case of a 41-year-old man with mature teratoma of the posterior mediastinum. He was asymptomatic and was incidentally found to have a posterior mediastinal mass. Computed tomography was helpful in suggesting a diagnosis of mature teratoma by demonstrating the presence of fat and calcification. The differential diagnosis included neurogenic tumors, liposarcoma, and extramedullary hematopoiesis.
