Intrathoracic teratomas almost always occur in the mediastinum, but occasionally, they may be found in the lung as intrapulmonary teratomas. Intrapulmonary teratomas have histologic findings that are similar to those of teratoma from other sites. Two successive patients with intrapulmonary teratomas presented to us in a variable manner. The clinical and radiologic features and the histopathologic findings are presented, and the relevant literature is discussed.
胸内畸胎瘤几乎总是发生于纵隔,但偶尔也可在肺内发现,即肺内畸胎瘤。肺内畸胎瘤的组织学表现与其他部位的畸胎瘤相似。我们接诊了两名先后就诊的肺内畸胎瘤患者,其表现各异。本文介绍了这两名患者的临床、影像学特征及组织病理学表现,并对相关文献进行了讨论。
