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.
