title: [Thoracic teratomas in childhood].
abstract: Thoracic teratomas are rare in children. They present a heterogeneous and problematic group of tumours. Extramediastinal lesions are unusual. Tomography is of particular value in cases of mediastinal teratomata, as this allows differentiation between the tumour and the heart. Of 31 cases of intrapulmonary teratoma that have been described, only 3 were in children. The authors report a unique case of combined mediastinal and intrapulmonary teratoma.
