Intraluminal Pulmonary Artery Fibroma in a 7-Year-Old Boy

Abstract

A supravalvar intraluminal pulmonary artery fibroma, presenting as pulmonary stenosis, is described. This is a previously unreported location for this type of tumor.

Surgical Considerations for Large Asymptomatic Cardiac Fibromas in the context of Fatal Ventricular Arrhythmias

“…Cardiac fibromas are usually single masses that arise from the LV free wall or interventricular septum [9], but may occur in any region within the cardiac chambers or even the pulmonary artery [10]. The tumours often have well-defined borders but not encapsulated, and are firm and grey-white in colour.…”

Right atrial fibroma in an adult patient

“…[ 2 ] The lower age of patient at the time of tumor diagnosis is considered as a risk factor for early mortality and poor survival rate. [ 3 ] In one study, both the lower age of patients at the time of detection and interatrial septal origin could be considered as risk factors that significantly determine a poor outcome because cardiac fibroma arising in the septum may be associated with conduction defect.…”
