Abstract

We report an atypical case of posterior mediastinal seminoma. Mediastinal seminomas are a rare form of tumor usually located in the anterior mediastinum. Our case presented as a diagnostic challenge because of the difficulty of differentiating the primary mediastinal mass from a primary lung neoplasm. Our case highlights the fact that seminomas may occur in the posterior mediastinum and the importance of considering a broad differential diagnosis, especially in cases of poorly differentiated carcinoma of the mediastinum.
