This is a report on the 4 cases of benign mediastinal teratoid tumor in the Department of Thoracic Surgery Chonnam University Hospital during the period from August, 1951 to August 1972.
All the tumors were treatomas which had three germinal layers and located in the anterior mediastinum.
All the cases had symptoms such as Pancoast syndrome, exertional dyspnea, middle lobe syndrome with fistulous connection to the cyst and retrosternal discomfort.
X-ray studies are essential to recognize the tumor and its location.
