Abstract
- A 9-month-old male infant was admitted for evaluation of incidentally noticed cardiac mass. The patient had no symptoms and there was no hemodynamic abnormality. Echocardiographic finding showed a huge left ventricular free wall mural mass, which did not obstruct the left ventricular outflow tract. Maximal excision of the left ventricular free wall mass was performed. The pathologic finding revealed cardiac fibroma. During the 7-month of follow-up after surgery, there was no evidence of arrhythmia or tumor recurrence.
