Abstract
Mediastinal teratomlar çocuklarda tüm germ hücreli tümörler içinde % 4.3 oranında görülen, germ hücreli tümörlerin ender bir tipidir. Mediastinal tümörleri olan hastaların çoğunda herhangi bir semptom görülmez (%53) ve kitle genellikle rutin akciğer grafileri sırasında tesadüfen saptanır. Literatürde mediastinal teratomların tedavisinde cerrahi eksizyonun sonuçları tartışmalıdır. Çalışmada, sık tekrarlayan üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonları ile bulgu veren, perikardiyuma yapışık benign matür teratom tanısı alan bir yaşındaki erkek çocuğun sunulması planlandı. Teratom cerrahi olarak eksize edildi. Sonuç olarak, akciğer grafisinde mediastinumda kitle ya da opasite görülen hastaların ayırıcı tanısında anterior mediastinum yerleşimli teratomlar akılda bulundurulmalıdır. Mediastinal teratomlar genellikle benign ve total rezeksiyona iyi yanıt verirler. Torakotomi uygun cerrahi yaklaşımlardan biridir.

Abstract
Mediastinal teratomas, a rare form of germ cell tumors in children, account for only 4.3% of all germ cell tumors. In most cases, patients with mediastinum tumors have no symptoms (53%), and their masses are frequently diagnosed incidentally on routine chest radiography. In the literature, the outcomes of surgical excision for the treatment of mediastinal teratomas and the results are inconclusive. We present a one-year old male child who experienced recurrent upper respiratory tract infections and was diagnosed with a benign mature teratoma adherent to the pericardium. The child underwent surgical excision. In conclusion, mediastinal teratomas located in the anterior mediastinum should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis in children whose chest x-rays reveal a mass or unspecific opacity in the mediastinum. These are usually benign with a good response to total resection. Thoracotomy is one of the appropriate surgical approaches

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
