Abstract:: We report on a case of primary pericardial teratoma detected in a 29-week-old fetus. Due to cardiac decompensation, pericardiocentesis was performed at 33 weeks of gestation, and surgical excision of the tumor was indicated shortly after birth. The present report draws attention to the impact of fetal echocardiography on perinatal management.
