Mediastinal teratoma is an infrequent germ cell tumour and
comprises of 1 to 5% of all mediastinal tumours. We report a
case of mediastinal mature teratoma in a 12 year old boy
who presented to us with persistent non-productive cough,
fever and dyspnoea for the past 7 months. Computed
tomographic scan of thorax revealed a large anterior
mediastinal mass measuring 11.2x9.9x14cm with
calcification within. He subsequently underwent a median
sternotomy with left subcostal extension (L-incision) and
excision of tumour. Histopathology of the tumour revealed a
mature cystic teratoma. We would like to report a case of
successful surgical management of a large mediastinal
mature teratoma in a child.

occurrence.
