Teratomas are germ cell tumours arising as the result of abnormal development of totipotential cells. They are commonly encountered in the gonads and occasionally found in mediastinum. We report a case of asymptomatic 28 years old lady with concomitant mature cystic teratoma in her mediastinum and left ovary which was diagnosed incidentally during health check up. This case is reported because of its rare and unusual coexistence.
畸胎瘤是由全能细胞异常发育而来的生殖细胞肿瘤。它们通常发生在性腺中,偶尔也出现在纵隔中。我们报告了一例无症状的 28 岁女性,她的纵隔和左侧卵巢同时存在成熟囊性畸胎瘤,在体检时偶然发现。报告这个病例是因为其罕见且不常见的共存。
