Mediastinal mature teratoma perforating the right lung that was successfully resected with complete thoracoscopic surgery: A case report

CONCLUSION: We report a rare case of an asymptomatic perforating mediastinal mature teratoma that was successfully treated with complete thoracoscopic surgery. Although infection, inflammatory adhesion, large tumour size, and the need for radical cure are concerns, complete thoracoscopic surgery might be helpful. In cases of few or no symptoms, thoracoscopic surgery is worth challenging.
