Abstract: Objective To improve the recognition of primary mediastinal seminoma. Methods The clinical data of 1 patient with primary mediastinal seminoma were described, and the relevant references were reviewed. Results The patient was 29 years old, and diagnosed as Sertoli cell only syndrome(SCOS)before. Physical examination was negative in serological tests of AFP, β-HCG and etc. The patient was pathologically diagnosed as primary mediastinal seminoma after surgery. Conclusion Surgery and chemotherapy play important roles in the treatment of primary mediastinal seminoma, especially for the early tumors that are expected to be completely resected.

Key words: Primary mediastinal seminoma, Surgery, Chemotherapy, Germ cell tumor, Sertoli cell only syndrome
