Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction caused by right ventricular fibroma in a 5-month-old infant: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Cardiac fibroma is rarely encountered in children, and even more rare in neonates. We herein report a case of a 5-month-old female with severe right ventricular outflow tract obstruction caused by a large right ventricle fibroma that was successfully surgically resected. CASE PRESENTATION This report describes the case of a 5-month-old female infant with a large mass measuring 26 × 22 mm in the right ventricle cured successfully with surgery. Physical examination revealed a harsh S1 sound and a grade IV systolic murmur on the left sternal border. Surgical resection was indicated due to severe right ventricular outflow tract obstruction and further follow-up evaluation was uneventful. CONCLUSION The surgical procedure to excise such a large cardiac fibroma in a 5-month-old infant is feasible and safe.

A Case Report of left ventricle outflow tract (LVOT) Tumor in a 49 old day infant
Rhabdomyomata are probably the most common tumors that occur very rarely during infancy. In this paper, we report the case of a 49-day-old infant who was diagnosed by echocardiography examination with left ventricle outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction caused by rhabdomyoma. The infant underwent surgical approach, and her mass was shaved. Finally, she was discharged from hospital in good gener...
متن کاملLeft ventricular outflow obstruction produced by a pedunculated fibroma in a newborn: clinical, angiographic, echocardiographic and surgical observations.
An unusual case of a one-day-old infant with significant left ventricular outflow obstruction produced by a pedunculated fibroma is described. The clinical findings were indistinguishable from severe valvular or subvalvular aortic stenosis. The tumor was difficult to detect by echocardiography. It produced an echo-free widening of the left ventricular outflow tract. Left ventricular cineangiogr...

متن کاملSurgical treatment of left ventricular fibroma accompanied with ventricular septal defect in an infant: a case report
Primary cardiac tumor in infancy is an uncommon condition which is rarely accompanied with congenital heart disease. Although these tumors are generally benign, the complication associated with it, such as arrhythmia, outflow tract obstruction, and heart failure, may result in early mortality, when combined with congenital heart disease. Early surgical treatment may reduce complication risk and...
