Abstract

We report a case of a five-year-old Caucasian girl with a posterior mediastinal teratoma. She presented with scoliosis and back pain. The teratoma was fixed to several surrounding structures, such as the aorta, the left lung and the chest wall, which complicated surgical excision. All these aspects are discussed and possible explanations for the development of mediastinal teratoma's are reviewed.
