Intrapericardial teratoma in a newborn infant: use of fetal echocardiography

B De Geeter et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 1983 Jun.

Abstract

The case of an infant with intrapericardial benign teratoma, which was suspected in utero after fetal echocardiography, is reported. This new approach permitted very early diagnosis and surgical treatment before cardipulmonary distress appeared. The tumor was excised completely, and the patient was asymptomatic three months postoperatively.
