Successful excision of intracardiac teratoma.
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.
