• Cardiac fibromas are rare lesions which occur more often in infants and children than in adults. These tumors are benign proliferations of connective tissue most often found in the left ventricular myocardium or septum. In an 8-month-old infant with cyanosis and progressive exertional dyspnea, a huge cardiac tumor obstructing the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) was diagnosed by means of 2-dimensional echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. At surgery, a whitish gray solitary tumor measuring 5.0×4.5 cm could be well visualized. It was nearly totally resected, and the RVOT was reconstructed with an Equine pericardial patch. Histologic examination classified the tumor as a fibroma. Although surgical mortality in cardiac fibroma with RVOT obstruction is extremely high, early diagnosis and prompt excision of the tumor is mandatory in relieving its dangerous symptoms.
