ABSTRACT
Teratoma of the heart is very rare and occurs mainly in children. A 44-year-old male patient was admitted due to foreign body sensation on throat and chest discomfort for a month. Chest CT, MRI and trans- thoracic and transesophageal echocardiographies showed 12x10 cm sized cystic mass with septataion and solid nodules, combined with pericardial and pleural effusion. Excision of the tumor was done and the pathologic diagnosis was mature cystic teratoma arising from pericardium.
