Abstract
There is a very low prevalence of cardiac fibroma in the adult population. Cardiac fibromas arise from heart fibroblasts, and these tumors are primarily located in the ventricles or in the interventricular septum. Symptomatic tumors are treated by resection. By contrast, asymptomatic tumors require a long-term follow-up or surgical resection as a preventive measure to avoid complications. The present study reports the case of a 43-year-old man, who presented with a cough and shortness of breath for 2 months. Echocardiogram and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging indicated a large mass located in the left ventricular lateral wall. The patient underwent surgical excision of the tumor, and histopathological examination confirmed the mass to be a fibroma. The patient had a good postoperative recovery and was discharged on day 9 post-surgery.
