Adherent Intrapericardial Teratoma: A Case Report

Intrapericardial teratomas are rare tumours arising from all three germinal layers.

description 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.
