A 27-year-old woman with a ruptured mediastinal cystic teratoma had high levels of amylase and carcinoembryonic antigen in cystic fluid. The activity of the amylase is thought to be the most likely cause of the rupture. High levels of carcinoembryonic antigen in pleural fluid are not necessarily indicative of a malignant lesion but may suggest the presence of a ruptured teratoma in patients with mediastinal tumors.
一名患有纵隔囊性畸胎瘤破裂的27岁女性，其囊液中淀粉酶和癌胚抗原水平升高。淀粉酶的活性被认为是破裂最可能的原因。胸液中癌胚抗原水平升高不一定表明存在恶性病变，但可能提示纵隔肿瘤患者存在畸胎瘤破裂。
