摘要

Mediastinal mature teratoma is the most common form of germ cell tumors, often located in the anterior mediastinum. A posterior mediastinum location has rarely been described. We report a case of a posterior mediastinal mature teratoma in a 37-year-old patient and a literature review, through which we describe the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties inherent in this particular location of these tumors.
