Abstract
|
|
|
Cardiac fibroma is a rare benign tumor of the heart that occurs primarily in infants and children.
Prognosis depends on size, extent and site of tumor. Cardiac fibroma may invade the conduction system, papillary muscle and outflow or inflow tract of ventricle. In these situations, its clinical course is very poor Although operative is high,
surgical
resection is treatment of choice because lethal arrhythmia and sudden can be developed by the fibroma.
A cardiac fibroma was successfully resected from the left ventricular myocardium of a 8 years old male patient in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Chonbuk National University Hospital.
