Abstract
This is a case of a giant mediastinal teratoma occupying the entire hemithorax, resulting in a complete lung whiteout. Both diagnosis and complete surgical resection of such tumors are considered a challenge, which is what we are reporting in detail in a 24-year-old Syrian woman previously diagnosed with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome. Here we report the simultaneous incidence of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster -Hauser syndrome and a mediastinal mature teratoma.
