Introduction
Cardiac fibromas are rare innocent tumors
composed
of fibroblasts and collagen in the myocardium, which have been regard as
the second most frequent benign cardiac tumor following rhabdomyoma
among children but rarely seen in adults [1,2]. Cardiac fibromas are
mainly located in the ventricles or interventricular septum and present
invariably as central calcification, which distinguishes them from
rhabdomyomas [3]. The clinical manifestations are nonspecific,
including stethalgia, arrhythmias, dyspnoeic, and even sudden death,
which depend on their position and size [4]. However, it is
predicted that some patients with cardiac fibroma are symptomless and
found on imageological diagnosis accidentally [3]. Early surgery is
the absolute key to improve outcome of symptomatic patient [5, 6].
