In this paper, 20 cases of teratoma of the lung (3 cases were presented and 17 reviewed) were analyzed. There were 13 males and 7 females, the age ranging from 16-47 years. The primary symptoms were: cough (19 cases, 95%), blood sputum or hemoptysis (16 cases, 80%), chest pain (12 cases, 60%), fever (7 cases, 35%) and expectoration of hair (4 cases, 20%) etc. The histogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of the disease were discussed.

A young man with recurrent cough and hemoptysis was found at thoracotomy to have benign intrapulmonary cystic teratoma. Although benign cystic teratomas are a common mediastinal neoplasm, they rarely occur within the lung parenchyma. Fewer than 30 cases have been reported in the literature. Occasionally, patients present with bronchiectasis, abscess, or pneumonia in addition to cough and hemoptysis. The patient in this report had little evidence of infection and recovered rapidly following surgical excision of the mass.

Hemoptysis as a presenting symptom in benign intrathoracic teratoma is rare, but we have documented one such case and discuss the various possibilities of why such a problem should arise. The bleeding was secondary to systemic-pulmonary artery shunting, caused at least in part by extensive pleural adhesions. The exact cause of the adhesions was not determined but possibilities include previous infection or trauma. The tumor was successfully removed surgically.

A 32-year-old woman who complained of cough and hemoptysis was found to have a metastatic trophoblastic tumor in her lungs and in a supraclavicular lymph node. A regressed primary teratoma of the ovary was considered the most likely origin of the tumor. Sputum cytology showed malignant cells, many of which were in elongated fiberlike forms and some of which had orange-staining cytoplasm. These cytologic appearances of choriocarcinoma are described and compared with the brief descriptions available in the literature. The possibility of misdiagnosis as squamous carcinoma is emphasized. The correct diagnosis is of particular importance because choriocarcinoma of gestational origin, which is similar cytologically to that of teratomatous origin, responds well to chemotherapy.

An 8-month-old infant girl with an anterior mediastinal teratoma experienced the unusual symptom of life-threatening hemoptysis secondary to ulceration of the tumor's gastric mucosa into the lung parenchyma.

A 24-year-old man admitted to our hospital because of hemoptysis and left precordial pain. Chest X-ray and chest CT scan showed a mass in the left anterosuperior mediastinum. Laboratory examination revealed elevated levels of AFP (550 ng/ml), which were highly indicative of malignant germ cell tumor. Imaging examination indicated that the mass was resectable, so surgery was performed prior to chemotherapy. Histological examination revealed an admixture of seminoma, immature teratoma, embryonal carcinoma and yolk sac tumor. Because the resection performed was incomplete, the patient received three courses of combination chemotherapy consisting of CDDP, VP-16 and BLM and 40 Gy irradiation. The serum level of AFP was normal after one course of combination chemotherapy. The patient has shown no sign of recurrence for 3 years since surgery.

We describe the unique case of a primary pulmonary malignant teratoma with yolk sac elements, associated with hematologic neoplasia. This 20-year-old male was admitted with complaints of fever, right-sided chest pain, dry cough, and hemoptysis. Necropsy revealed a mass in the right middle and upper lobe which microscopically was a malignant teratoma with yolk sac element. The associated hematologic neoplasia was a myelofibrosis, cellular phase, with myeloid metaplasia in liver, spleen, hilar lymph nodes, left adrenal gland, and lower lobe of the right lung.

Massive hemoptysis is a rare but potentially life-threatening presentation in the emergency department (ED). We describe a case of massive hemoptysis caused by a mediastinal teratoma in an otherwise healthy young man. The teratoma had invaded into a bronchus and was resected successfully. The literature regarding massive hemoptysis due to mediastinal teratoma is reviewed. A differential diagnosis for massive hemoptysis is presented. The initial management of these patients in the ED and the diagnostic options are discussed.

Three cases of intrapulmonary teratoma are described. A specific symptom of trichoptysis occurred in two patients. The other presented with only recurrent hemoptysis. All were treated by lobectomy of the affected lung. Pathologic examination in each specimen showed that the tumor had a cystic portion which was connected to the bronchial system and contained sebaceous material and pieces of hair. The solid portion consisted of tissues representing all three germ cell layers. The pathologic findings correlated well with the clinical symptoms and radiologic findings in the patients.

An eighteen year old male presented with hemoptysis and superior vena caval syndrome. History and clinical examination revealed a testicular mass which was previously diagnosed as hematocele. Chest x-ray showed a four cm diameter shadow and several smaller shadows. Histological examination of the testicular mass established it as immature teratoma with choriocarcinoma-like lesion (CCLL)--a rare association in testicular tumours. Focal positivity for betaHCG was noted in the testicular tumour. Guided aspiration of the lung showed features of a metastatic non seminomatous germ cell tumour.
