Article Synopsis
- Pediatric cardiac tumors are uncommon, with the majority being benign, and cardiac fibroma is notably the second most common type after rhabdomyoma.
- A case of a 5-month-old boy with acute viral bronchiolitis revealed incidental findings of a cardiac fibroma via various diagnostic tests, including echocardiogram and cardiac catheterization, leading to its confirmation.
- Treatment typically involves surgery or heart transplantation, especially for cases with significant dysfunction, and accurate characterization of the tumor is crucial for determining the best therapeutic strategy.
