The mediastinum is the most prevalent site of extragonadal teratomas. Patients with mediastinal mature teratomas are usually young adults, and the condition does not show significant sexual differences. Mediastinal teratomas are mostly located in the anterior mediastinum. Patients are usually asymptomatic, although they can have several complications when the teratomas become large or rupture. Most mediastinal teratomas can be diagnosed using CT. Diagnosing ruptured or malignant teratomas is challenging because of their atypical clinical and radiological presentations. In this article, we describe various manifestations of mediastinal teratomas, with an emphasis on radiologic features.
纵隔是性腺外畸胎瘤最常见的部位。纵隔成熟畸胎瘤患者通常为年轻成年人，且该病无明显性别差异。纵隔畸胎瘤大多位于前纵隔。患者通常无症状，不过当畸胎瘤变大或破裂时可能会出现多种并发症。大多数纵隔畸胎瘤可通过CT诊断。由于破裂或恶性畸胎瘤的临床和放射学表现不典型，诊断具有挑战性。在本文中，我们描述了纵隔畸胎瘤的各种表现，重点是放射学特征。
