Resection of an immature intrapericardial teratoma from a premature neonate presenting as hydrops foetalis

Intrapericardial teratoma is a germ-cell tumor that typically arises from the base of the heart. This rare cardiac tumour is the second most common tumor diagnosed in fetuses and newborn. Although benign, it can be massive in size causing direct compression on the heart and associated with significa...
