Premonitory Symptoms

Cardiac fibroma is a rare disease, and the management of asymptomatic patients is controversial. We report a case of successful surgical excision of a large cardiac fibroma in an asymptomatic child. Surgery should be considered for such a patient, as sudden cardiac death may occur in the absence of premonitory symptoms.

Unusual Finding

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 unusual finding in an adult who through various imaging modalities, surgical excision, and immunohistological analysis was found to have a cardiac fibroma.

Cardioverter Defibrillator

Benign cardiac fibroma is rarely reported in adults. Its clinical symptoms are related to outflow obstruction or dysrhythmias. We present the case of a 70-year-old woman who had a syncopal episode from ventricular tachycardia caused by cardiac fibroma. Because of unfavorable tumor anatomy, the patient was not a candidate for surgical excision, and she declined orthotopic heart transplantation. To prevent sudden cardiac death, we placed an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, and the patient remained well throughout the 2-year follow-up period. To our knowledge, this is the first report of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy to treat an adult patient's unresectable cardiac fibroma.

Cardiac Fibroma

Benign cardiac tumors are rare and fibroma is second to rhabdomyoma in frequency in pediatric cardiac tumors. We report a case of a 14-year-old male patient, who presented with shortness of breath for 2 years. Echocardiogram and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging indicated a large mass located in the left ventricular lateral wall. The patient underwent surgical excision of the tumor, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a cardiac fibroma. The patient had a good postoperative recovery and was discharged on sixth postoperative day.

AbstractA large mass arising from the aortic valve caused supravalvar aortic stenosis in a 4-year-old girl. The differential diagnosis included an organized thrombus or myxoma. Following surgical excision, there was resolution of choreioform movements and tongue thrusting, which had been present for 1 week preoperatively.
