A 6-year-old boy underwent successful extirpation of an intracardiac teratoma without injury to the myocardium or conduction system. Before operation, two-dimensional echocardiographic examination indicated a possibility of the teratoma. This is believed to be the seventh case to be reported and the second case of successful excision for an intracardiac teratoma.

This case report describes the management of a 30-year-old male patient with a history of an advanced nonseminomatous germ cell tumor, hip fracture complicated by extensive deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and on apixaban presenting with asymptomatic intracardiac teratoma and abdominopelvic metastases. Multidisciplinary intervention, including successful surgical excision of the intracardiac mass, highlights the importance of coordinated care and vigilant follow-up in optimizing patient outcomes and preventing life-threatening complications.

Article Synopsis
- Cardiac teratomas are rare, making up less than 1% of adult heart tumors, with the intracardiac variety being even more uncommon, posing diagnosis and treatment challenges.* -
- A 50-year-old man diagnosed with a right ventricular teratoma was successfully treated; imaging techniques revealed a significant mass, and surgery led to a good recovery with no recurrence in 2 years.* -
- Intracardiac teratomas are mostly benign tumors, primarily affecting the right ventricle, and effective treatment through surgical removal often results in a positive outcome.*

Cardiac teratomas are very rare primary tumors; most are intrapericardial, while a few are intracardiac. Furthermore, most reported intracardiac teratomas are in the pediatric population, with few cases of secondary metastases from testicular teratomas reportedly manifesting in adults. Here, we report a rare case of a mature cystic teratoma in the right ventricle complicated by a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) in an adult.
