India TV News  

Doctors at a Delhi hospital conducted a lifesaving heart surgery on a two-day old baby boy with a rare heart tumour. Baby Virin was born, to residents of Noida, with a rare congenital tumour called "intrapericardial teratoma" -- arising from the surface of the heart. A CT Angio was conducted, and showed a 7 cm across, lobulated giant intrapericardial tumour that was pushing the heart to the left and compressing the lung, said the doctors. An intrapericardial teratoma arising from the heart is an exceedingly rare tumour of the foetus and the newborn.
