1 Cystic Seminoma With Elevated Value of Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 in Tumor Fluid Mimicking Cystic Teratoma  Cheng-Ken Tsai, MD, Tsai-Wang Huang, MD, Chun-Chang Li, MD, Chih-Ming Hsieh, MD, Shih-Chin Lee, MD, Yeung-Leung Cheng, MD, PhD, Herng-Sheng Lee, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 88, Issue 5, Pages (November 2009) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2009 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 (A) A bulging opacity (4.7 cm, arrow) with calcified rim shadow projected of right paramedian anterior mediastinum. (B) Lateral view of the chest roentgenogram showed one large tumor in the anterior mediastinum.

3 Fig 2 A computed tomographic scan of the mediastinum show unilocular cystic structure (approximately 4.9 × 3.7 cm in size) with low attenuation signal within the cyst, which suggests fluid content. The lesion is sharply demarcated from the surrounding soft tissue with multifocal calcifications in the wall.

4 Fig 3 The resected surgical specimen showed cut surface of the bilobed loculated cyst with two excrescences attached to the wall of the cyst (mural nodules) and containing yellow-brown cystic fluid.

5 Fig 4 (A) Higher magnification of seminomatous component showing large polygonal cells with clear cytoplasm, round nuclei, and prominent nucleoli (Hematoxylin & eosin stain, ×400). (B) Immunohistochemical stain for placental alkaline phosphatase showing cytoplasmic positivity in the tumor cells (arrow). (Original magnification ×400.)
