TY - JOUR AU - Tauro, Leo Francis AU - Shetty, Prathvi AU - Kamath, Aruna AU - Shetty, Ashok PY - 2012 TI - Double whammy - mediastinal and ovarian teratoma: a rare clinical co-existence JF - Journal of Thoracic Disease; Vol 4, No 4 (August 21, 2012): Journal of Thoracic Disease Y2 - 2012 KW - N2 - 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. UR - https://jtd.amegroups.org/article/view/462
