Primary pulmonary malignant teratoma with yolk sac element associated with hematologic neoplasia.
We describe the unique case of a primary pulmonary malignant teratoma with yolk sac elements, associated with hematologic neoplasia. This 20-year-old male was admitted with complaints of fever, right-sided chest pain, dry cough, and hemoptysis. Necropsy revealed a mass in the right middle and upper lobe which microscopically was a malignant teratoma with yolk sac element. The associated hematologic neoplasia was a myelofibrosis, cellular phase, with myeloid metaplasia in liver, spleen, hilar lymph nodes, left adrenal gland, and lower lobe of the right lung.
