RESUMO
A maioria dos tumores mediastinais são assintomáticos e, portanto, são descobertos incidentalmente. O objetivo desse trabalho é descrever o caso de um paciente do sexo masculino, de 29 anos de idade, com grande aumento da área cardíaca após trauma torácico fechado, sendo submetido à toracotomia. Foi encontrada grande massa no mediastino e o diagnóstico anatomopatológico foi de teratoma mediastinal maduro.
ABSTRACT
Most mediastinal tumors are incidentally diagnosed because they are asymptomatic. The aim of this paper is to report on the case of a 29-year-old male patient, who had an increase in cardiac area after blunt thoracic trauma. He was submitted to thoracotomy when a large mediastinal mass was found. The histopathological diagnosis was a mature mediastinal teratoma.
