Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Cardiovascular Pathology
  • Neonatal Oncology

Background:

  • Intrapericardial teratomas are rare congenital tumors.
  • These tumors can lead to severe respiratory distress and mortality in newborns.

Observation:

  • A case of a 12-day-old male infant with a massive intrapericardial teratoma is presented.
  • The tumor's large size at birth, unusual for intrapericardial teratomas, posed a significant clinical challenge.

Findings:

  • Clinical and pathological findings of the large intrapericardial teratoma are detailed.
  • Surgical resection was performed successfully, addressing the life-threatening condition.

Implications:

  • Successful surgical management of huge intrapericardial teratomas in neonates is possible.
