Abstract
- Primary cardiac tumors in infancy and childhood are rare, with fibromas being the second most common tumor after rhabdomyomas. Although cardiac fibromas are characteristically benign intramural tumors, they may exhibit expansile growth resulting in obstruction, valvular dysfunction, as well as other problems so early diagnosis and successful surgical excision are important. We experienced a case of cardiac fibroma in right ventricle that diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography, chest CT, open heart tissue biopsy etc.
