Abstract
Benign cystic teratoma is a well recognized cause of an anterior mediastinal mass. The presence of fat, found in approximately half the cases, suggests the diagnosis. We report a new feature, which consists of components of the tumour drifting upwards (anteriorly) during the course of a computed tomography examination. The appearance is compared with a popular light fitting.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
