Abstract
We report a unique case of cardiac tamponade in a newborn due to an in trapericardial lymphangioma. Echocardiography and magnetic resonance i maging suggested that the mass, which was situated between the right a trium and the aortic root, was unsuitable for primary resection. A per icardial window was performed, and over the next 16 months the tumor s pontaneously regressed.
