RESUMEN

Teratomas are a type of germ cell tumor that may contain several different types of tissue. Neurofibroma is a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor with the plexiform type being pathognomonic for neurofibromatosis type 1. We report a case of a 33-year-old woman with a background of Neurofibromatosis type 1 who presented with left-sided chest pain and shortness of breath. She was diagnosed with a large mediastinal mass which was confirmed from a CT-guided biopsy as neurofibroma. Following a multidisciplinary team discussion, she underwent mediastinal mass resection and the final histopathology report revealed mediastinal mature teratoma.
