    This case report details the successful surgical removal of an intrapericardial teratoma in an adult. Cardiopulmonary bypass was crucial due to the tumor

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Intrapericardial teratomas are rare congenital tumors.
    • Most cases are diagnosed in infancy, making adult diagnosis unusual.
    • Surgical intervention is the primary treatment modality.

    Observation:

    • An adult patient presented with an intrapericardial teratoma.
    • The tumor exhibited firm adhesion to vital cardiac structures.
    • Cardiopulmonary bypass was employed as a technical adjunct during surgery.

    Findings:

    • Successful en bloc resection of the intrapericardial teratoma was achieved.
    • The use of cardiopulmonary bypass facilitated safe tumor removal.
    • Histopathological confirmation of teratoma was established.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the possibility of late diagnosis for intrapericardial teratomas.
    • Demonstrates the utility of cardiopulmonary bypass in complex cardiac tumor resections.
    • Contributes to the understanding of rare adult cardiac neoplasms.
