The mass was resected completely with a median sternotomy. The postoperative course was uneventful. A pathological examination revealed a mature cystic teratoma of anterior mediastinum which is a very rare cystic tumor at this location. The incidence, diagnostic procedures, complications, and treatment of mediastinal teratomas are discussed along with a review of the literature.en10.1107/s10595-002-2515-yinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAnterior mediastinumMature cystic teratomaCardiac failureArticle33751852014506996WOS:000183776600007Q3
