Abstract (2. Language): 
Immature mediastinal teratomas are rare malignant neoplasms that can metastasize and recur, are characterized by the presence of various tissues that histologically resemble embryonal structures. Computerized tomography (CT) shows the location and extent of the tumors as well as intrinsic elements including soft tissue, fat, fluid, and calcification. CT is the radiological modality choice for the diagnostic evaluation of these tumors and also combination of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) best defines the characterisation, location and operability of tumor. In this report, we present radiological findings of immature mediastinal teratoma. ©2008, Fırat Üniversitesi, Tıp Fakültesi

Abstract (Original Language): 
İmmatür mediastinal teratom, metastaz ve rekürrrens bulguları gösterebilen, nadir, malign bir neoplasm olup, histolojik olarak embriyonel dokulardan oluşan farklı bir yapıya sahiptir. Bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) tümörün yerini, yayılımını, ayrıca içerdiği kalsifikasyon, sıvı, yağ dokusu ve yumuşak doku kısımlarını gösterir. BT tanı için seçilecek ilk radyolojik modalite olmakla birlikte, manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) ile birlikte değerlendirme; karakterizasyon, lokalizasyon ve operasyon kriterlerini belirleme açısından oldukça değerlidir. Biz bu yazıda immatür mediastinal teratomun radyolojik bulgularını sunduk.©2008, Fırat Üniversitesi, Tıp Fakültesi
