Çocuk Hastada Mediastinal Matür Teratom: BT Bulguları

Teratomlar, en sık mediastinal germ hücreli tümörlerdir. Genellikle anterior mediastende yerleşirler. Matür teratomlarçoğunlukla asemptomatik olup insidental olarak saptanırlar ve tüm mediastinal germ hücreli tümörlerin %60-70inioluştururlar. Germ hücreli tümörler anterior mediasten kitlelerinin erişkinlerde yaklaşık %10-15ini, çocuklardayaklaşık %25ini oluştururlar. Burada çocuk olguda patolojik olarak konfirme edilmiş mediastinal matür teratomolgusuna ait bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) görüntülerini sunmayı amaçladık.

Mediastinal Mature Teratoma in a Child Patient: CT Findings

Teratomas are the most common mediastinal germ cell tumors. Generally, they are located in the anterior mediasti- num. Mature teratomas often present as asymptomatic lesions, are detected incidentally, and account for 60-70% ofall mediastinal germ cell tumors. Moreover, germ cell tumors account for anteromediastinal masses in 10-15% ofadults and 25% of children. In this case, we aim to present the computed tomography (CT) images of a patient witha pathologically confirmed mediastinal mature teratoma.
