Benign mediastinal teratoma accounts for 60% of all mediastinal germ cell tumors, which in turn account for 15-20% of all anterior mediastinal masses. It is frequently associated with compressive effects of surrounding structures. Total surgical excision is curative and life saving also. We are presenting a case of giant benign cystic mediastinal teratoma which underwent surgical excision but long term compressive effect on lungs resulted them to be small in size compared to thoracic cavity even six months postoperatively.
良性纵隔畸胎瘤占所有纵隔生殖细胞肿瘤的60%，而纵隔生殖细胞肿瘤又占所有前纵隔肿物的15% - 20%。它常伴有对周围结构的压迫作用。完整手术切除可治愈疾病并挽救生命。我们现报告一例巨大良性囊性纵隔畸胎瘤病例，该病例接受了手术切除，但对肺部的长期压迫作用导致即使在术后六个月，肺部与胸腔相比仍体积较小。
