Two cases of primary mediastinal seminoma in patients aged 43 and 37 respectively are reported, with remarks on the pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of the disease and a review of the literature. The favourable outcome in these two cases after 1 and 7 years respectively was remarkable. Emphasis is laid on the value of thoracotomy for the diagnosis and treatment.

D004407 Dysgerminoma A malignant ovarian neoplasm, thought to be derived from primordial germ cells of the sexually undifferentiated embryonic gonad. It is the counterpart of the classical seminoma of the testis, to which it is both grossly and histologically identical. Dysgerminomas comprise 16% of all germ cell tumors but are rare before the age of 10, although nearly 50% occur before the age of 20. They are generally considered of low-grade malignancy but may spread if the tumor extends through its capsule and involves lymph nodes or blood vessels.
