TWISTS OF FATE:? TUBERCULOSIS OR TERATOMA, DECODING THE MEDIASTINAL MASS

Mediastinal teratomas can mimic tuberculosis (TB) and malignancies, posing diagnostic challenges. This case study presents an 18-year-old female with dyspnea and chest pain, initially suspected of TB. However, imaging revealed a cystic mass with calcications, and FNAC conrmed a cystic teratoma. This highlights the need for comprehensive diagnostics, including CT, MRI, biopsy, and tumor markers, to differentiate teratomas from TB, ensuring timely and appropriate treatment.

Abstract

Mediastinal teratomas can mimic tuberculosis (TB) and malignancies, posing diagnostic challenges. This case study presents an 18-year-old female with dyspnea and chest pain, initially suspected of TB. However, imaging revealed a cystic mass with calcications, and FNAC conrmed a cystic teratoma. This highlights the need for comprehensive diagnostics, including CT, MRI, biopsy, and tumor markers, to differentiate teratomas from TB, ensuring timely and appropriate treatment.
