2024年4月30日 · Cardiac fibromas are rare primary cardiac tumors, accounting for a small percentage of cardiac neoplasms. They often present in infancy or childhood and can be asymptomatic or present with symptoms related to intracardiac obstruction, arrhythmias, or thromboembolic events.

Cardiac fibroma, also known as cardiac fibromatosis, cardiac fibrous hamartoma, fibroelastic hamartoma of heart and fibroma of heart is the second highest type of primary cardiac tumor seen in infants and children. [1]

Fibromas are more common in infants, are often located in the ventricle, and can be associated with a wider syndrome. They are best seen on CT as a homogeneous mass with central calcification. Surgical resection is recommended due to risk of sudden cardiac death. Cardiac fibroma is the second most common PCT in infants.

2024年8月28日 · Cardiac fibromas, also known as cardiac fibromatosis, are benign congenital cardiac tumors that usually manifest in children. Cardiac fibromas are tumors that primarily affect children (most cases are detected in infants or in utero) with a ratio of 4:1 compared with adults 5.

2022年11月1日 · Cardiac fibromas are rare primary tumors that can cause significant morbidity and mortality. There has not been a large clinical case review since 1994. This study provides an updated analysis of clinical impact, thereby enhancing understanding, increasing awareness, and revealing important factors in the diagnosis and management of cardiac ...

Cardiac fibroma is a rare primary cardiac tumor, mostly occurring in infants and children, but rarely in adults. It often occurs in the free wall and ventricular septum of the left ventricle, and by imaging, most of them are isolated space-occupying lesions with clear boundaries.

A cardiac fibroma is a non-cancerous heart tumor. A tumor can interfere with the way the heart works, blocking blood flow to vital organs and causing an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia). Boston Children’s is experienced in surgeries to remove these tumors. What is a cardiac fibroma? Children are born with this tumor.

2024年4月7日 · Cardiac fibromas are predominantly located in the left ventricle, right ventricle, and/or interventricular septum and frequently cause heart failure and VT. Surgical resection is recommended regardless of symptoms when feasible to prevent complications.

Cardiac fibroma is a congenital neoplasm that typically affects children, a third of whom are younger than 1 year at presentation. Like rhabdomyomas, they may also be detected in utero.

2024年4月30日 · Composed primarily of connective tissue and fibroblasts, cardiac fibromas, although benign, can manifest symptoms due to intracavitary obstruction, inflow and outflow tract obstruction, coronary artery compromise, thromboembolic events, conduction defects, and can even lead to sudden death.
