  ABSTRACT: A 5 year-old girl patient without any health history, presented a persistent cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis and fever. Physical examination showed a bronchial airway sound abolition and dullness in lower of right lung. We report the long diagnostic and therapeutic course for this child presenting a teratoma of the mediastinum with postero-inferior location having evolved well after surgical excision. To sum up, anterial mediastinal teratomas are common tumor, but the postero-inferior location is rare. Basically, clinical signs are not specific. Anyway, an infectious syndrome should not overshadow other etiologies.
