| Popis: | We report a case of intrapericardial teratoma, which is a rare primary cardiac tumor usually found in newborns and infants. Cardiac teratomas can cause respiratory failure, large accumulations of pericardial fluid and cardiac compression leading to death in the intrauterine or neonatal period. The case described is rare because it is of a 16-year-old asymptomatic girl with an intrapericardial tumor as an incidental echocardiographic finding. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed a complex pericardial cyst. Due to the potential for malignant evolution, she was referred for surgery to remove the tumor and a diagnosis of teratoma was confirmed by histopathology. Clinical follow-up had a good outcome. Resumo: Descrevemos um caso de teratoma intrapericárdico, tumor cardíaco primário raro, usualmente encontrado em neonatos e lactentes. O teratoma pode causar insuficiência respiratória, grande acúmulo de líquido pericárdico e compressão cardíaca, levando à morte no período intrauterino ou neonatal. O presente caso é raro, pois se trata de uma jovem de 16 anos, assintomática, portadora de tumor intrapericárdico em achado ecocardiográfico. As características à ressonância magnética cardíaca sugeriram cisto pericárdico complexo. Ela foi submetida à cirurgia para retirada do tumor e o diagnóstico de teratoma foi firmado pelo estudo histopatológico. O acompanhamento clínico mostrou-se de boa evolução.
