RESUMO
Os tumores de células genninativas primitivos do mediastino são neoplasias pouco frequentes, é o carcinoma embriomirio é uma das suas fonnas mais raras. Os autorcs apresentam uma revisão desta entidadc a propósito do caso clinico de urn homem de 35 anos de idade, cuja apresentação inicial foi mascarada pela hipótese de empiema septado, no contexto de pós-toracotomia para ressecção de bolhas de enfisema.

ABSTRACT
Primary mediastinal genn cell tumors are uncommon neoplasms, and embryonal carcinoma is one of less frequent histologic type among them. The authors present a literature review of this entity departing from a case report of a 35-year-old man, whose clinical presentation was hidden by the suspicion of a loculated empyema after a thoracotomy perfonncd for bullectomy.
