Syncope – An Unusual Presentation of Mediastinal Seminoma

Abstract

Mediastinal tumors are commonly found in the anterior mediastinum, among which thymic tumors and lymphoma are the most common ones. Germ cell tumors constitute about 10%–15% of mediastinal tumors. Among which seminoma is an uncommon tumor. These mediastinal masses usually present with complaints of cough, chest pain, or symptoms of superior vena cava obstruction. Here, we report a case of mediastinal seminoma in a young adult presenting with complaints of syncope.
