Primary heart fibroma is an extremely rare but potential cause of ventricular tachycardia in children that can be successfully treated with surgical resection.
May support resection for VT from pediatric cardiac fibroma; leaves open need for larger outcome studies.
Ventricular tachycardia with underlying structural heart disease is a potential dangerous pathology in children. In most cases, ventricular tachycardia occurs after ventricular surgery for congenital anomalies. Ventricular tachycardia associated with primary heart tumors is extremely rare. A 4-year-boy presented with primary heart tumor, fibroma, manifesting as ventricular tachycardia. Manifestation of the disease was ventricular tachycardia. The complete resection of the tumor was performed successfully. The diagnosis was confirmed histologically.
