    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Neonatal Medicine

    Background:

    • Intrapericardial teratoma is a rare congenital neoplasm with potentially fatal outcomes in newborns.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention are critical for managing this condition.

    Observation:

    • Diagnosis relies on identifying characteristic radiographic and echocardiographic findings.
    • Affected newborns often present with a large cardiothymic silhouette and pericardial effusion.

    Findings:

    • Surgical resection is the primary curative treatment for intrapericardial teratoma.
    • Timely surgical intervention significantly improves patient prognosis.

    Implications:

    • Recognizing specific imaging findings is crucial for prompt diagnosis.
    • Effective management strategies can prevent mortality associated with intrapericardial teratoma.
