RESUMO
Mediastinal germ cell tumors (GCTs) are rare. Post-chemotherapy residual masses in patients with a nonseminomatous GCT require resection. A patient with a large mediastinal GCT involving the left subclavian artery, superior vena cava (SVC) and hilum of the right lung is presented. Despite a biochemical response to chemotherapy, the tumor enlarged on serial imaging. With guidance from medical oncology, a multidisciplinary surgical team, including cardiac anesthesia, cardiac surgery and thoracic surgery resected the tumor with a staged reconstruction of the SVC. The procedure was well tolerated and yielded clear margins. The final pathology showed a significant associated component of rhabdomyosarcoma.
