Abstract
|
|
|
Primary mediastinal seminoma is a germ cell tumor histologically identical with
testicular seminoma.
We experienced one case of primary mediastinal seminoma. He was 21-year-old male
with complaint of dyspnea and coughing for one month prior to admission. The patient
underwent open thoracotomy, but complete resection was not performed, because of
tumor encroachment on Supeior Vena Cava and Trachea. Pathological findings were
compatible with seminoma originated in mediastinum.
The patient was treated with radiotherapy involving the whole mediastinum includig
both supraclavicular area after operation. He is well being now with favorable state for
3 months since operation and radiation therapy.
