Mediastinal teratomas are known to adhere to and penetrate the pericardium, but perforation and tamponade are uncommon. We present a patient who developed a life-threatening pericardial tamponade and pleural effusion, whose life was saved by timely surgery. We believe this to be the third successfully treated patient and the first to be reported from Great Britain.
纵隔畸胎瘤已知会粘连并穿透心包，但穿孔和心脏压塞并不常见。我们报告一名患者，其出现了危及生命的心包压塞和胸腔积液，通过及时手术挽救了生命。我们认为这是第三例成功治疗的患者，也是英国首例报告的此类病例。
