Abstract EN

Teratomas are tumors composed of tissues derived from more than one germ cell line.

Pulmonary teratomas are rare and commonly involve the upper lobe of the left lung.

Criteria for pulmonary origin are the exclusion of a gonadal or other extragonadal primary site and origin entirely within the lung.

We report a case of a giant pulmonary teratoma in a 2-year-old male child and review the relevant literature.
