“…Pointing out that there are previous cases reports of surgeons evacuating cystic fluid safely proposed just prior the resection of tumor [ [8] , [9] , [10] ]. A giant mediastinal teratoma with malignant transformation is extremly rare but it is possible that accidental rupture of the mass during the surgery phase could disseminate malignant cells [ 6 , 11 ]. So, we have considered the evacuation of contents is an advantage to a safe extraction.…”

“…No communication between the tumour and pleural cavity was observed. Pleural effusion could be explained either by pleural inflammatory reactionin contact with the teratoma [11] or probably by diffusion of proteolytic enzymes secreted by pancreatic tissue. This hypothesis was reported by Beduneau et al [12].…”

A 32-year-old patient with no previous history was admitted for chest pain, dyspnea, appetite and weight loss. Chest X-ray revealed an opacity involving the lower two-thirds of the right hemithorax, suggestive of a pleural effusion. Because of the absence of fluid return even after ultrasound-guided thoracentesis, a Chest Computed tomography was required showing a heterogeneous anterior mediastinal mass with soft tissue, fat, fluid and calcifications associated with extensive encysted fluid collection in the right hemithorax. A video-assisted mini-thoracotomy revealed a mediastinal tumor firmly attached to the thymus with a cystic wall lined by squamous epithelium and sebaceous gland composed of respiratory tissue, adipose tissue, cartilage, smooth muscle fibers, and well-differentiated pancreatic tissue. These findings led to the diagnosis of a mature thymic teratoma. The patient was discharged 7 days after surgery, with no recurrence on follow-up.

“…Rare complications include pericardial effusion [6] and rupture into lungs and bronchus, which can lead to trichoptysis and hemoptysis [7]. Similarly, teratoma with malignant transformation has also been reported [8]. Surgical excision is the treatment for mature cystic teratoma with an excellent prognosis [9].…”

Several tumors arise from different structures within the mediastinum. Although each type of mediastinal tumor has a predilection for a specific compartment, the progression of growth from one compartment to another can occur. The anterior mediastinum is the site of several tumors that pose interesting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges to thoracic surgeons. The anterior mediastinum is the seat of the majority of neoplastic growths within the mediastinum. Thymomas and lymphomas are the most common pathologies of the anterior mediastinum. Tumors of mesenchymal origin (hemangioma, lymphangioma, lipomas) and their malignant counterparts may occur in any of the mediastinal compartments. Less common tumors of the anterior mediastinal compartment are ectopic thyroid and parathyroid tumors, germ cell tumors, mesenchymal origin tumors, hemangiomas, and cervicomediastinal hygromas. Most of the mediastinal growths usually remain clinically silent until they become large and cause compressive symptoms. Here, we present a case series of five anterior mediastinal tumors consisting of solitary benign teratoma, fibrous benign tumor, malignant fibrosarcoma, hamartomatous chondroma, and malignant thymoma.
