Abstract: (7401 Views)
Mediastinal immature teratoma in autopsy of fetus is a very rare phenomena which has been reported so far just in two cases. The case of the present study was a 24-week dead female fetus delivered by C/S for intrauterine death. The mother was a 30-year-old lady (gravide 2, para 2) who referred to sonographist due to lack of fetus movement. In sonography intrauterine fetal death and hydrops fetalis was reported. There was no positive history of previous abortion or congenital anomalia in her first bady. Positive gross autopsy finding was pleuretic cyanotic edematous fetus and one solid mediastinal paracardiac mass. After classic cutting a mediastinal mass measured 3×2×2cm was seen. Hypoplasia of two lungs and heart due to compression effect of mass was evident. Microscopic examination of the mass revealed an immature teratoma.
