A 10-year-old boy was admitted with cardiac tamponade. Initial pericardiocentasis yielded pus. A subxiphoid tube-pericardiostomy was done and thick, purulent material was drained out. Subsequently, pericardiectomy was undertaken as features of pericardial constriction persisted. At surgery, however, an intrapericardial mass was discovered. Successful excision was performed and the patient made an uneventful recovery. Histopathology of the mass revealed features of an intrapericardial teratoma. Rarity of the lesion, and a hitherto unreported mode of presentation make this case worthy of documentation.
一名10岁男孩因心脏压塞入院。首次心包穿刺抽出脓液。进行了剑突下心包造瘘术，引出了浓稠的脓性物质。随后，由于心包缩窄的特征持续存在，进行了心包切除术。然而，手术时发现心包内有一个肿块。成功切除肿块，患者恢复顺利。肿块的组织病理学显示为心包内畸胎瘤的特征。该病变的罕见性以及一种迄今未报道的表现方式使得该病例值得记录。
