“…Although metastasis to the heart is less frequent than the primary cardiac tumors in the pediatric age group, it should be ruled out before considering this rare tumor as of primary origin. 8,19 The important differential diagnoses that need to be considered in the pediatric age group are benign tumors including rhabdomyoma, fibroma, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, hemangioma, rarely myxomas, and malignant tumors including RMS, lymphoma, and metastatic tumors. Primary cardiac tumors are more common in children than the metastasis to the heart.…”

Primary intracardiac teratoma is a rare cardiac tumor with few cases reports in neonates and children. The authors present a case of an 8-year-old boy diagnosed with a cystic mass within the heart. The mass lesion was originating from the interventricular septum and was obliterating the ventricular chambers. Clinically, the mass was suspected to be a hydatid cyst. Surgical excision of the cyst was done that was confirmed histopathologically as mature teratoma. Although rare, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions of heart when evaluating mass lesions in the pediatric age group.

Summary:Malignant nonseminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCT) rarely metastasize to the heart. The first such case presenting with syncope is described. Eight previously described cases of NSGCT with intracaval metastasis to the heart are reviewed and the literature to date is discussed. Transesophageal echocardiography is the diagnostic study of choice and treatment consists primarily of platinum-based chemotherapy followed by surgical resection of residual deposits.
