Two female patients aged 64 and 50 years, who had intra-pericardial tumors arising from the ascending aorta, are reported. Both patients were admitted with mediastinal mass. Surgery was performed by median sternotomy with complete excision. Histology revealed teratoma and ectopic thyroid. Tumors arising from the ascending aorta are very rare and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the mediastinal masses.
