Abstract
Mediastinal teratoma is a rare germ cell tumor. The mediastinum is the most common extragonadal site. Malignant tumors of the mediastinum account for 4 % of all extragonadal tumors of the mediastinum. We present a case of successful surgical treatment of a 24‑year-old man with a gigantic immature mediastinal teratoma complicated by severe cardiorespiratory disorders.
