Abstract

Intrapericardial teratomas are rare primary cardiac tumors of infancy and childhood. We describe three neonates with intrapericardial teratomas diagnosed during fetal life and treated after birth. Clinical and anatomic considerations suggest that cardiopulmonary bypass provides for safe tumor dissection and complete excision of the tumor, thereby decreasing the risk of recurrence.
