Abstract

Background. Mediastinal teratoma is a rare germ cell tumor. The mediastinum is the most common extragonadal localization. Malignant tumors of the mediastinum account for 4% of all extragonadal tumors (EGT) of the mediastinum. Description of the clinical case. We present a case of successful surgical treatment of a 24-year-old man with an immature giant mediastinal teratoma complicated by severe cardiorespiratory disorders. Conclusion. Total replacement of the anterior mediastinum with a massive tumor extending into the thoracic cavity, which is accompanied by dystopia of the cardiopulmonary complex, as well as the high vascularity of the tumor, is not a reason for refusing surgical intervention.
