Abstract

Extrinsic pulmonary artery stenosis caused by anterior mediastinum teratoma presenting with an ejectionsystolic murmur is a rare phenomenon. Till date, 15 cases have been reported (inclusive of this case) in theEnglish literatures. Herein we report a 20 year old female with extrinsic pulmonary artery stenosis becauseof compression by an anterior mediastinal teratoma with a loud ejection systolic murmur. The case reportaims to highlight the awareness of such rare presentation of anterior mediastinal teratomas that may mimiccongenital valvular heart diseases among clinicians.
