Teratomas of the mediastinum are rare, accounting for 8% to 13% of the tumours in this region. They primarily occur in the anterior mediastinum of young adults. Surgery should be performed whenever complications, such as atelectasis of lung tissue, adhesion to or compression of adjacent structures, or malignant transformation, are likely to be present. Results after surgical resection are excellent.
纵隔畸胎瘤较为罕见，占该区域肿瘤的8%至13%。它们主要发生于年轻成年人的前纵隔。只要可能出现诸如肺组织肺不张、与相邻结构粘连或受压、或恶性转化等并发症，就应进行手术。手术切除后的效果极佳。
