Аннотация
UNLABELLED: We present the case of a 22-year-old man who presented with cough, haemoptysis and fever of 3 days' duration. A teratoma had been diagnosed 2 years previously. Physical examination was unremarkable but laboratory tests showed anaemia, neutrophilic leucocytosis and an increase in C-reactive protein. Chest CT revealed a teratoma of the anterior mediastinum with post-obstructive pneumonitis suggestive of tumour rupture. Antibiotic treatment resulted in a good clinical outcome. The patient was submitted to a left upper lobectomy and pathological examination revealed a mature teratoma. Teratomas are germ cell tumours that are usually asymptomatic and their rupture is a rare event.
LEARNING POINTS: Mature teratomas are usually asymptomatic.Teratoma bronchial rupture is rare.The most frequent location for mature teratomas is the anterior mediastinum.
