Abstract:
Anterior mediastinal teratomas are congenital tumors containing derivatives of all three germ layers. They usually grow slowly and are often detected incidentally by imaging studies. We describe the case of a 38-year-old man with an anterior mediastinal teratoma extending to the anterior neck, which resulted in a cystic neck mass.
