Sumario:Intrapericardial teratomas are rare tumours arising from all three germinal layers. They are mostly benign, but can lead to life-threatening complications such as cardiac tamponade in newborns, so surgical excision of the tumour should be done as early as possible once the diagnosis is made. We report a neonate diagnosed with a large intrapericardial teratoma, managed surgically with the help of cardiopulmonary bypass.
