Résumé
An eighteen year old male presented with hemoptysis and superior vena caval syndrome. History and clinical examination revealed a testicular mass which was previously diagnosed as hematocele. Chest x-ray showed a four cm diameter shadow and several smaller shadows. Histological examination of the testicular mass established it as immature teratoma with choriocarcinoma-like lesion (CCLL)--a rare association in testicular tumours. Focal positivity for betaHCG was noted in the testicular tumour. Guided aspiration of the lung showed features of a metastatic non seminomatous germ cell tumour.

A 28 year old male presented with a 8 months history of chest pain, cough and breathlessness. CT scan revealed a large mass in right anterior mediastinum showing fat and soft tissue attenuation. Histopathology of the resected mass revealed a tumour showing extensive areas of mature fat and relatively less interspersed thymic tissue confirming thymolipoma. Because of its rarity, we are presenting this case with a brief review of literature.
