RESUMEN
Los teratomas de mediastino, se adhieren y comprimen las estructuras adyacentes y rara vez producen taponamiento cardiaco; cuando ocurren se deben a la perforación del pericardio. Se presenta un paciente adulto, con teratoma mediastinal gigante, que presentó taponamiento cardiaco sin tener perforación pericárdica, siendo intervenido quirúrgicamente mediante incisión de Clamshell. Probablemente, constituya el teratoma mediastinal más grande con taponamiento cardiaco reportado.
ABSTRACT
Mediastinal teratomas adhere and compress subyacent structures and rarely cause pericardial tamponade, when this does happen it is due to pericardial perforation. We present a case of an dult patient with a giant mediastinal teratoma who presented with pericardial tamponade without having pericardial perforation. The patient was surgically intervened through the Clamsell incission. This is probably the largest mediastinal teratoma with associated pericardial tamponade ever reported.
