“…In general, the prognosis of fetiform teratoma is favorable. During the postoperative period, complications associated with the size of the resected tumor have been reported in 15% of cases, such as effusion (24%), pyothorax (11%), collapsed lung (5%), or postcardiotomy syndrome (up to 2%); however, in our case, no associated complication was noted [3][4][5]. Nonetheless, it has been reported that up to 2% of mature cystic teratomas are malignant and about 10% of them recur after resection.…”

“…The anterior mediastinum is the most frequent site of occurrence of extragonadal germ cell neoplasms [3], constituting 15% to 20% of tumors of this compartment, and of these 70% are mature teratomas, which make up 3% to 13% of all anterior mediastinal tumors [4]. The highest incidence of this condition is in the third and fourth decade of life, with a mean age of around 30 years.…”

“…Surgical treatment is the treatment of choice with good results. The surgical access must be adapted to the extension and size of the tumor to guarantee a safe dissection [1,4]; in our case, we decided to perform a clamshell incision due to the size and location of the tumor. In general, the prognosis of fetiform teratoma is favorable.…”

Thoracic Fetiform Teratoma: A Case Report of a Very Rare Entity in a Peruvian Hospital

Mature fetiform teratoma, or homunculus, is a term coined for a rare variant of teratoma with a prevalence of 0.01% of teratomas. There have been very few cases reported in the world, and its thoracic presentation is extremely unusual. We present the case of a 31-year-old female patient with a history of progressive chest pain in the left hemithorax, associated with dyspnea on moderate exertion and cough. Imaging studies revealed a large intrathoracic tumor visually compatible with a teratoma. Surgical resection by a clamshell approach was successful, and subsequent anatomopathological studies of the operative specimen concluded that the mass was a mature fetiform thoracic teratoma. The treatment of this entity is generally surgical and includes wide resection due to its large adhesive component to surrounding tissues. Thus, the cardiothoracic surgeon must know approaches that allow wide resection, making these cases true surgical challenges.
