Abstract
Teratomas are tumours composed of tissues derived from more than one germ cell line. Intrathoracic teratomas are usually seen in the mediastinum and very rarely in the lung. We report a case of a giant pulmonary teratoma occupying most of the right hemithorax in a 5-year-old female child with complaints of chest pain and low grade fever for the last 5 days. Patient was successfully operated with no recurrence in a 9 months follow up.
