Abstract

The Mixed germ cell tumors of the mediastinum are very quite rare.The Prognosis is generally dominated by the most aggressive component, which is represented by a choriocarcinoma, an endodermal sinus tumor, an embryonal carcinoma, and a seminoma, in descending order of in the degree of malignancy.We experienced one a case of a mixed germ cell tumor at the anterior mediastinum.The patient was 27-year-old male, who complained of hemoptysis and cough.The Chest X-ray showed a well-defined lobulated mediastinal mass in the left upper lung field.The operation was done and The mass was excised surgically.A Biopsy showed elements of mature tissues, immature neuronal components, and seminoma components.(
