“…Most commonly, teratomas are found in sacrococcygeal, ovarial or testicular locations. The remaining locations (24%) are in the mediastinum, the retroperitoneum and other midline structures [5][6][7]. Teratomas arising within the chest have been described to be located in the anterior or posterior mediastinum in the vicinity of the aorta, esophagus, pericardium, lung and diaphragm [5,7,8].…”

Teratomas arising within the chest have been described to be located in the anterior or posterior mediastinum in the vicinity of the aorta, esophagus, pericardium, lung and diaphragm [5,7,8]. Other tumor entities such as manifestations of lymphomas, neuroblastomas, sarcomas or other kinds of small round blue cell tumors and metastases have to be excluded, as well as nonmalignant causes which mimicry a tumor as an infectious manifestation.…”

“…The authors suggested that modern imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomogra-phy failed to accurately localize the origin of the retropleural tumor, which led to a 2-cavity procedure because the surgeons chose an abdominal approach and then had to incise the right diaphragm [1]. This was surprising because the "diaphragm sign" and "displaced crus sign" [2][3][4], which are used to differentiate pleural effusion from ascites, can be also used to differentiate intrathoracic from intraabdominal or retroperitoneal tumors, or at least, they are an indicator of retrocrural or intrathoracic extension of a retroperitoneal mass.…”
