ABSTRACT
The Mixed germ cell tumors of the mediastinum are very quite rare. The Prognosis is generally dominated by the most aggressive component, which is represented by a choriocarcinoma, an endodermal sinus tumor, an embryonal carcinoma, and a seminoma, in descending order of in the degree of malignancy. We experienced one a case of a mixed germ cell tumor at the anterior mediastinum. The patient was 27-year-old male, who complained of hemoptysis and cough. The Chest X-ray showed a well-defined lobulated mediastinal mass in the left upper lung field. The operation was done and The mass was excised surgically. A Biopsy showed elements of mature tissues, immature neuronal components, and seminoma components.
