A six-year old boy presented with prolonged unexplained fever caused by an infected teratoma of the lower posterior mediastinum. Modern imaging, combining ultrasonography with computed tomography, enabled the correct diagnosis of topography, extension and nature of this rare lesion to be made and explained the clinical features. Follow-up CT showed regression of the abscess after antibiotics thus permitting elective surgery.
一名六岁男孩因后纵隔下部感染性畸胎瘤出现长期不明原因发热。现代影像学检查，将超声检查与计算机断层扫描相结合，能够正确诊断出这种罕见病变的位置、范围和性质，并解释了临床特征。随访计算机断层扫描显示抗生素治疗后脓肿消退，从而可以进行择期手术。
