Abstract

Germ celled tumors frequently localize in anterior medi­astinum. In this study we presented two germ cell tumors with different localization and huge size. We discussed two cases with germ cell tumors operated in our clinic to­gether with literature findings. Chest x-ray, computerized tomography (CT) and transthorasic tru-cut biopsy were used for diagnosis. The huge intratorasic teratomas are rarely seen and surgical full resection is the most impor­tant factor in survival.

Özet

Germ hücreli tümörler sıklıkla ön mediastende yerleşir­ler. Bu yazıda farklı lokalizasyonlu ve dev boyutta olan iki olgu sunulmuştur. Kliniğimizde opere edilen, mediastinal lokalizasyonlu büyük iki germ hücreli tümör olgusunu li­teratür eşliğinde irdelendi. Tanı yöntemleri olarak akciğer grafisi, bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) ve transtorasik tru-cut biopsi kullanıldı. Sonuç olarak intratorasik, mediastinal dev teratomlar literatürde nadir olarak bildirilmektedir ve cerrahi tam eksizyon sağ kalımda en önemli faktördür.
