A mediastinal teratoma is a tumour in the central chest that contains different tissue types such as hair, fat, or bone. Most are noncancerous but some can become malignant. An MRI may show a complex mass in the central chest consistent with a teratoma. Finding a mediastinal teratoma early may allow for surgical removal before it grows or undergoes malignant change.
