Teratoma is a germ cell tumor common in anterior mediastinum but intrapulmonary location is rare. Gonadal and extra-gonadal primary site needs to be ruled out first to call the tumor as intrapulmonary teratoma. Here, we report a case of benign intrapulmonary cystic teratoma in a 28 year old female who presented with left sided chest pain and shortness of breath and was initially provisionally diagnosed to have hydatid cyst in lung. |
