Surgical resection of a giant left ventricular fibroma in a pediatric patient presenting with ventricular tachycardia can lead to successful long-term outcomes.
Supports surgical resection in rare pediatric LV fibroma with VT; hypothesis-generating, should not change practice.
We present a rare case of giant left ventricular apical fibroma presenting as recurrent ventricular tachycardia in a 14-month-old girl. The diagnosis was made by echocardiography and chest computed tomography, and confirmed by histopathology. The fibroma was resected surgically, and the patient followed up for 4 years.
