Successful removal of an intrapericardial teratoma in an adult, with the adjunct of cardiopulmonary bypass, is described. Unusual features are the rarity of the tumour, the recognition of the tumour in adult life (most are recognized during infancy), and the use of cardiopulmonary bypass as a technical aid because of firm adhesion of the tumour to vital structures.
本文描述了在体外循环辅助下成功切除一名成年患者的心包内畸胎瘤的病例。该病例的不同寻常之处在于该肿瘤罕见,在成年期才得以发现(大多数畸胎瘤是在婴儿期被发现),并且由于肿瘤与重要结构紧密粘连,需借助体外循环作为技术辅助手段来进行切除。
