Abstract

Background : Incidence of mediastinal teratoma 8,5 - 13,6% of all patients in mediastinal tumor. Teratomas are most common in young adults. Mediastinal teratoma is rarely present clinical manifestation. The clinical manifestation present along with increasing size of mass and also reported with chest pain, back pain, shortness of breath and febrile caused by chronic pneumonia. Rupture of a mediastinal teratoma can cause pleural effusion, empyema and cardiac tamponade. CT is first modality of choice for tumour diagnosis.  Mature teratoma is a type of benign tumor, most patients will recovery after complete resection.Case Report : We report one case at Dr. Saiful Anwar hospital, an elderly woman, 57 years old with mediastinal teratoma, whose formerly differential diagnosed with empyema. On the diagnostic test found no evidence of empyema but leads to loculated cloudy pleural effusion. Physical and supporting examination showed anterior mediastinal tumors. Based on the CT-Scan and thorax sonography concluded that is a cystic mass on anterior right hemithorax dextra. The patient performed thoracotomy and eksploration with the final diagnosis of giant cystic mediastinum tumour, with the histopathology is mature teratoma.  Conclusion: In this patient, the diagnosis of mediastinal cystic mature teratoma  with loculated pleural effusion proven through a multidisciplinary approach covering the pulmonology, thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, radiology and histopathology. Key words : Mediastinal tumour, Mature teratoma

Abstract

Background: Pulmonary sequestration is a very rare congenital abnormality of the lung, which was responsible for 0.15-6.4% of all cases of congenital lung formation disorders. Pulmonary sequestration is often seen as recurrent pneumonia, accompanied by complaints of chest pain, shortness of breath and hemoptysis. Conventional angiography is the gold standard for diagnosing pulmonary sequestration and for demonstrating arterial supply and venous drainage. The optimal therapy for pulmonary sequestration is operative resection to avoid infection and damage to the lung parenchyma. Case Report: We reported a case of 43-years old-male with pulmonary sequestration, previously diagnosed with a lung tumor with massive left pleural effusion and pneumonia. A series of diagnostic tests found no malignant cells. During FNAB with CT scan guiding, we found an image of a fungus ball, thus, he was diagnosed with Aspergillosis. The patient was planned to undergo VATS. There were complications during the operation, thus, a lobectomy with an open thoracotomy was performed, and an arterial anomaly was found from the abdominal aorta. The operation was successful and the patient was able to carry on with his normal activities.Conclusion: Establishing a definite diagnosis of pulmonary sequestration is very difficult, and in this case, it was done through lobectomy with thoracotomy and through a multidisciplinary approach.
