title: [Mature teratoma of the posterior mediastinum].
abstract: Mature teratoma is the most frequent primary germ-cell occurring in the anterior mediastinum. We report a case of a 67-year-old man with mature teratoma of the posterior mediastinum. Computed tomography was helpful in suggesting a diagnosis of mature teratoma by demonstrating the presence of fat and calcification.
