Mediastinal teratoma (MT) can be misdiagnosed for a long period and revealed by fatal pleural effusion at any age. In high burden tuberculosis settings, it is important to consider MT for extra-pulmonary tuberculosis not responding to medical treatment.
纵隔畸胎瘤(MT)可能长期被误诊,在任何年龄都可能因致命性胸腔积液而被发现。在结核病高负担地区,对于药物治疗无效的肺外结核,考虑MT是很重要的。
