[Acquired pulmonary stenosis caused by mediastinal mature teratoma: a case report].
A 13-year-old girl was admitted with a sudden onset of chest oppression. Mediastinal teratoma was suspected on chest X-ray and CT scan. A grade 2/6 systolic murmur was heard at the upper left sternal area and cardiac catheterization showed mild pulmonary stenosis. After resection of the tumor, the murmur disappeared and histopathological diagnosis was mature teratoma. This is a rare case report of pulmonary stenosis caused by mediastinal mature teratoma.
