Cardiac teratomas are very rare primary tumors; most are intrapericardial, while a few are intracardiac. Furthermore, most reported intracardiac teratomas are in the pediatric population, with few cases of secondary metastases from testicular teratomas reportedly manifesting in adults. Here, we report a rare case of a mature cystic teratoma in the right ventricle complicated by a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) in an adult. Echocardiography and enhanced computed tomography (CT) were performed, and the mass was surgically excised. A pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a mature cystic teratoma. Meanwhile, mechanical valve replacement of the aortic valve was performed. No tumor recurrence or symptoms occurred in the 2‐year follow‐up. This is the first report of an adult primary intracardiac teratoma with solid hyperechoic findings on echocardiography and a BAV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
