Primary mediastinal seminoma is a rare clinical entity. Because of its high malignancy, we often find it only when it grows very large so we can't resect it completely. Our patient came with asthma attack and abnormal shadow on chest X-ray was pointed out. Germinal cell tumor was diagnosed by thoracoscopy and resection of the tumor was performed. Postoperative radiation therapy also was performed. Our case is alive in good health for 1 year postoperatively and good prognosis will be expected.
原发性纵隔精原细胞瘤是一种罕见的临床实体。由于其高度恶性，我们常常在其长得非常大以至于无法完全切除时才发现它。我们的患者因哮喘发作前来就诊，胸部X线检查发现异常阴影。通过胸腔镜诊断为生殖细胞肿瘤并进行了肿瘤切除。术后也进行了放射治疗。我们的病例术后1年健康存活，预期预后良好。
