Abstract

We experienced a case of anterior mediastinal teratoma in 26 month old boy with 2 month history of cough and dyspnea. The diagnosis was easily established by chest CAT which revealed calcific densities, while plane radiographs of chest revealed no evidence of calcification. Operation was done with good result and remained in good condition thereafter. A brief of the related literature was made on this subject.
