    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Intrapericardial teratoma is a rare congenital tumor with significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for favorable outcomes in pediatric patients.

    Observation:

    • A case report details an 18-month-old boy diagnosed with an intrapericardial teratoma.
    • Preoperative imaging modalities like CT, radionuclide scanning, and angiography were utilized for assessment.

    Findings:

    • Imaging techniques, while helpful, are nonspecific for definitive diagnosis of intrapericardial masses.
    • Definitive diagnosis was established through thoracotomy, surgical resection, and subsequent microscopic examination.

    Implications:

    • Surgical resection is an effective treatment for intrapericardial teratoma.
    • Patients with resected intrapericardial teratoma have a good long-term prognosis, highlighting the importance of timely intervention.
