“…The originating stem cells may be more primitive than previously thought. This is consistent with the formation of teratomas in the adult [24,25,35,47,48,52]. These tumors must arise from a primitive stem cell with differentiation potential across all three dermal lineages.…”

“…Histológicamente pueden clasificarse según Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) en: maduro, inmaduro, mixto, monodérmi-co y con fenómenos de malignización somática 3 . Los teratomas compuestos por elementos celulares diferenciados o maduros son catalogados como benignos y no producen marcadores tumorales como alfa-fetoproteína (α-FP) ni β-HCG 1,4 . Los niveles elevados de estos marcadores, son indicio del hallazgo de un componente inmaduro o potencialmente maligno 1,4 .…”

“…Los tumores de células germinales en un 5-10% son extragonadales, dentro de los cuales se encuentran aquellos de localización mediastínica 9 . Los teratomas mediastínicos (TM) inmaduros representan el 1% de todos éstos 4,7 . Las manifestaciones clínicas dependerán de la localización y del efecto desencadenado por los marcadores secretados por el tumor 1 .…”

“…The prognosis after surgical removal of the tumor is good and there is no recurrence of tumor after complete excision (7). For immature teratomas the main options are primary resection and chemotherapy (8,9). Prognosis after resection of a mediastinal tumor varies widely depending on the type of lesion resected.…”
