Abstract

Teratomas are an infrequent and account for only 7- 11% of extra gonadal teratomas, in Pediatrics. We report a case of 6 years old, with a mediastinal mass causing pleural effusion. Pleural cytology was neagative. Computed Tomography suggested a mediastinal mass. Child’s thoracotomy was done and mass was excised. Histopathology was suggestive of mature teratoma of thymus.
