Mediastinal mixed germ cell tumor presenting as empyema

Mediastinal mixed germ cell tumor presenting as empyema:

Abstract

Mixed germ cell tumors are uncommon lesions in the mediastinum, which remain asymptomatic for long periods and often present with complications. We report a case of mediastinal tumor that ruptured into pleural cavity and presented as an empyema. The patient underwent an emergency excision of the mass with decortication.
