Germ Cell Tumor Complicated by Mediastinal Mass Syndrome: A Report of Cardiac Arrest to Full Recovery.

Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are the most common malignancies in men aged 15-35 years. Five percent of malignant GCTs are of extragonadal origin, and the most common extragonadal location for GCTs in adults is the mediastinum. Like other mediastinal tumors, mediastinal GCTs may cause compression or invasion of vital mediastinal structures, resulting in respiratory or hemodynamic compromise.
