Fetal Pericardial Teratoma: Perinatal Management and Example of Preterm Cesarean Birth to Resection.

ABSTRACT: A very large fetal pericardial teratoma was diagnosed at 28 weeks' gestation, prompting urgent multidisciplinary expert consultations to weigh the risks and benefits of various prenatal invasive procedures and preterm delivery for postnatal surgical management. Ultimately, the infant was born by planned cesarean section and underwent immediate cardiopulmonary bypass and surgical resection.
