In this case, we report the patient with a large mature mediastinal teratoma with several components of ectodermal and endothermal epithelium. A 24-year-old female patient presented with history of persistent chest pain and progressively aggravating dyspnea for the previous 3 months. A chest X-ray showed a large opacity of the entire left hemithorax. Transcutaneous needle aspiration revealed a purulent fluid. The tube thoracostomy was introduced and the effusion was evacuated. Some weeks later, patient was seen in emergency for persistent cough and lateral chest pain. CT scan revealed a mass of the left hemithorax. The mass showed heterogeneous density, without compressing mediastinum great vessels and left hilar structures. Lipase value was elevated in needle aspiration. The patient underwent a total resection of the mediastinum mass via a left posterolateral thoracotomy. Microscopy revealed a mature teratoma with cystic structures. The patient subsequently made a full recovery. This case provide benign mediastinal teratoma with total atelectasis of left lung and elevated lipase value in needle transcutaneous aspiration; this event is explained by pancreatic component in the cystic tumor. Total removal of the tumor is adequate treatment for this type of teratoma and the prognosis is excellent.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2016\/7869476","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,8]],"date-time":"2016-04-08T11:31:36Z","timestamp":1460115096000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Mediastinal Mature Teratoma Revealed by Empyema"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2016","author":[{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Raoufi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Avicenne University Hospital, Pulmonary Unit, International University of Rabat, Mfadel Charkaoui Street, BP 6527, Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laila","family":"Herrak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Avicenne University Hospital, Pulmonary Unit, International University of Rabat, Mfadel Charkaoui Street, BP 6527, Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anas","family":"Benali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Avicenne University Hospital, Pulmonary Unit, International University of Rabat, Mfadel Charkaoui Street, BP 6527, Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leila","family":"Achaachi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Avicenne University Hospital, Pulmonary Unit, International University of Rabat, Mfadel Charkaoui Street, BP 6527, Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mustapha","family":"El Ftouh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Avicenne University Hospital, Pulmonary Unit, International University of Rabat, Mfadel Charkaoui Street, BP 6527, Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Salma","family":"Bellarbi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Avicenne University Hospital, Anatomopathology Unit, International University of Rabat, Mfadel Charkaoui Street, BP 6527, Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charaf","family":"Tilfine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Avicenne University Hospital, Radiology Unit, International University of Rabat, Mfadel Charkaoui Street, BP 6527, Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Firdaous","family":"Taouarsa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Avicenne University Hospital, Radiology Unit, International University of Rabat, Mfadel Charkaoui Street, BP 6527, Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"98","reference":[{"key":"1","first-page":"459","volume-title":"Mediastinum","year":"2004"},{"issue":"3","key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"379","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5223(19)42048-5","volume":"62","year":"1971","journal-title":"Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00008480-199606000-00018"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5812\/iranjradiol.11724"},{"key":"5","volume-title":"Tumors of the mediastinum","year":"1997"},{"key":"6","year":"2013"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0936-6555(97)80001-5"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1510\/icvts.2010.238717"},{"issue":"2","key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"210","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5223(19)37002-3","volume":"99","year":"1990","journal-title":"Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(19930915)72:660;1894::aid-cncr282072061760;3.0.co;2-6"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s1052-3359(02)00036-4"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-3468(93)90155-e"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Pulmonology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cripu\/2016\/7869476.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cripu\/2016\/7869476.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cripu\/2016\/7869476.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,18]],"date-time":"2020-09-18T09:25:16Z","timestamp":1600421116000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/cripu\/2016\/7869476\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016]]},"references-count":12,"alternative-id":["7869476","7869476"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2016\/7869476","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6846","2090-6854"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-6846","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-6854","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016]]}}}
