Key result
Surgical excision and immunohistological analysis of a solitary left ventricular mass in an adult patient revealed a rare primary cardiac fibroma.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the exceedingly rare presentation of a primary cardiac fibroma in an adult patient.
Primary cardiac fibroma merits consideration in adult LV mass differentials; extends sparse literature on this rare entity.
Cardiac fibromas are benign primary tumors composed of connective tissue and fibroblasts. These uncommon tumors are primarily found in the pediatric population, and their prevalence among the adult population is exceedingly rare. We report a case of an adult with nonspecific symptoms, who was subsequently found to have a solitary mass located in the left ventricle. This case highlights an unusual finding in an adult who through various imaging modalities, surgical excision, and immunohistological analysis was found to have a cardiac fibroma.
