Intramural Ventricular Cardiac Fibroma
Two cases in which large intramural ventricular cardiac fibromas were successfully removed from children are reported. In one the fibroma was principally septal, and in the other it lay in the free wall of the left ventricle. These are the second and third such operations reported. A review of these two cases plus 34 other reported cases of cardiac fibroma indicates that a primary mural tumor o...
متن کاملCardiac fibroma: a case report.
We report a case of a 65 year-old woman with a cardiac fibroma. Dyspnea and bend in efficiency lead to clinical examination. Ultrasound revealed a large tumor-like lesion associated with the left ventricular wall. Grossly, the resected tumor appeared greyish-white, solid and firm. Microscopically, the tumor was composed of mainly acellular, partly hyalinized collagen with few embedded small spi...
متن کاملCardiac fibroma resulting in fatal ventricular arrhythmia.
Apreviously well and asymptomatic 6-year-old boy collapsed at school. He was initially asystolic but was resuscitated to sinus rhythm. Then, during transport to the hospital, he developed monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (Figure 1). Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a huge, homogeneous intramural mass in the left ventricular free wall, possibly also involving the left atrial wall, ...
متن کاملPrimary Cardiac Fibroma in an Adult
Cardiac fibromas are benign primary tumors composed of connective tissue and fibroblasts. These uncommon tumors are primarily found in the pediatric population, and their prevalence among the adult population is exceedingly rare. We report a case of an adult with nonspecific symptoms, who was subsequently found to have a solitary mass located in the left ventricle. This case highlights an unusu...
متن کاملCardiac fibroma in an infant: magnetic resonance imaging characteristics.
Primary cardiac neoplisms are uncommon, with a reported prevalence of 0.0017-0.28% of autopsies (1). Approximately 15% of these are benign tumors, of which the most common is myxoma. Cardiac fibroma is a rare benign tumor that primarily occurs in infants and children. Imaging modalities used for diagnosis of cardiac masses include echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance im...
