Primary mediastinal malignant germ cell tumours are rare, comprising only 1-4% of mediastinal tumours, of which 50-70% are non-seminomatous germ cell tumours. Non-seminomatous germ cell tumours typically demonstrate an excellent response to cisplatin-based chemotherapy. However, in some cases, tumours may persistently enlarge despite normal tumour markers following chemotherapy, leading to a rare condition known as growing teratoma syndrome.
