AB  - Primary cardiac tumour is a rare entity as secondaries in the heart are more 
      common. A 2-year-old child was having repeated respiratory tract infection with 
      poor oral intake and poor activity for 3 months. His symptoms progressed from New 
      York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II to IV. On evaluation he had an 
      intracardiac mass with extracardiac extension. Emergency tumour excision under 
      deep hypothermic circulatory arrest was performed with provisional diagnosis of 
      sarcoma. But Serum markers, histopathological examination and 
      immunohistochemistry confirmed diagnosis of yolk sac tumour. Postoperative 
      recovery was uneventful and the child was receiving adjuvant chemotherapy. 
      Extensive literature review revealed only four cases of primary intracardiac yolk 
      sac tumour published till date. Our case report is unique, in that intracardiac 
      tumour had extracardiac extension by infiltration through right atrial wall. 
      Previous four reports mention purely intracardiac mass.
