摘要
Primary germ cell tumors of the mediastinum are rare neoplasms. Above all, choriocarcinomas are highly aggressive with early haematogenous dissemination. Here, we report an extremely rare case of mixed-type primary germ cell tumor of the mediastinum which occurred in a 26-year-old man with multiple metastases of the lung caused by choriocarcinoma components, with diffuse pulmonary hemorrhaging. The patient developed a sudden life threatening condition a few days after a needle biopsy.
