Key result
A giant intracardiac left ventricular teratoma was diagnosed in a neonate, representing an exceptionally rare type of primary cardiac tumor in this population.
This case report highlights a rare instance of a giant intracardiac left ventricular teratoma in a neonate.
Primary cardiac tumors in the fetuses and neonates are uncommon. The most common are rhabdomyomas. Echocardiography is the primary diagnostic tool for the detection of a cardiac tumor. We report a rare case of neonatal giant intracardiac left ventricular teratoma.
