Yolk Sac Tumor in the Anterior Mediastinum Presenting as Acute Pericarditis

CONCLUSIONS The discussed case shows the rare presentation of an anterior mediastinal mass with acute pericarditis. This emphasizes the importance of a thorough review of systems and critical analysis of every sign and symptom at the time of initial presentation, which helps the physician to obtain appropriate imaging studies early in the course, leading to an early diagnosis and treatment of the disease, such as in this case of an extremely rare germ cell tumor.PMID:35077441 | DOI:10.12659/AJCR.932616
