Successful surgical treatment for recurrent cardiac fibroma 21 years after resection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cardiac fibromas are rare benign tumors usually seen in the pediatric population. Generally, long-term survival after surgical resection is favorable, and recurrence of fibroma has been hardly reported. Herein, we report a case of a 34-year-old woman who presented with ventricular tachycardia 21 years after resection of a cardiac fibroma and was found to have a recurrent giant cardiac fibroma. We performed a complete resection of the recurrent fibroma. At the 2-year follow-up, she remains asymptomatic with no evidence of ventricular tachycardia or recurrence of fibroma.
