We present a 21-week gestation fetus, who upon routine investigation was noted to have a left-sided pleural effusion. The pregnancy was terminated, and at autopsy, a diagnosis of intrapericardial teratoma was confirmed. Primary cardiac tumors in infants and children are rare, and intrapericardial teratomas are even more so. In this brief case report, we review intrapericardial teratomas and present pertinent diagnostic and management options.
