Although it is a congenital abnormality, it is diagnosed late in the second or third decade. It could be benign or malignant, symptomatic or asymptomatic.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Presentation of case:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A five-year-old child presented with an acute respiratory distress episode due to an acute infection, unresponsive to first-line antibiotics and had a history of similar recurrent pulmonary infections. On imaging, the patient showed an abnormal mediastinal mass which was speculated to be a hydatid cyst or abscess; however, it was later diagnosed during surgery as a mature mediastinal cystic teratoma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mediastinal tumors are slow-growing tumors that are mostly benign and asymptomatic, but sometimes they may grow, reaching a state where they can affect the neighboring anatomical structures, causing symptoms, which may lead to misdiagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Teratomas, as a differential diagnosis, should be considered in children with recurrent pulmonary infection and radiological findings that resemble masses in the chest.
