Double whammy - mediastinal and ovarian teratoma: a rare clinical co-existence.

Leo Francis Tauro1, Prathvi Shetty, Aruna Kamath, Ashok Shetty.   

Abstract

Teratomas are germ cell tumours arising as the result of abnormal development of totipotential cells. They are commonly encountered in the gonads and occasionally found in mediastinum. We report a case of asymptomatic 28 years old lady with concomitant mature cystic teratoma in her mediastinum and left ovary which was diagnosed incidentally during health check up. This case is reported because of its rare and unusual coexistence.
