Here, we report the case of a patient with a slowly-progressing anterior mediastinal teratoma submitted to surgical resection. The anatomopathological examination of the sample revealed malignant degeneration to carcinoid tumor. Such evolution is very rare, and we have found only three related studies in the literature. We describe the clinicopathological features of the tumor and discuss the treatment administered. The evolution was satisfactory, and the patient was submitted to oncological treatment.
在此，我们报告一例患有缓慢进展性前纵隔畸胎瘤并接受手术切除的患者病例。样本的解剖病理学检查显示向类癌肿瘤的恶性退变。这种演变非常罕见，我们在文献中仅发现三项相关研究。我们描述了该肿瘤的临床病理特征并讨论了所给予的治疗。病情进展令人满意，患者接受了肿瘤治疗。
