Although fibroma is the second most common benign cardiac tumor following rabdomyoma, its incidence is quite low. Fibromas causing ventricular outflow tract obstruction, arrhythmia, and/or severe valvular dysfunction necessitate surgical resection. An infant with asymptomatic clinical course, despite having a giant right ventricular fibroma was reported herein.

Öz

Kardiyak fibrom, rabdomiyomdan sonra en sık görülen benign kardiyak tümör olmasına rağmen insidansı oldukça düşüktür. Çıkış yolu obstrüksiyonuna, aritmiye veya ciddi kapak disfonksiyonuna yol açtıklarında cerrahi müdahale gerektirirler. Bu yazıda oldukça büyük olmasına rağmen asemptomatik seyir gösteren fibromlu bir süt çocuğu sunuldu.
