Key result
Adult cardiac fibromas remain rare benign tumors primarily managed by surgical resection despite missing guidelines.
Why the study?
Cardiac fibromas are rare benign tumors typically occurring in children, with limited data and lacking diagnostic and treatment guidelines in adults.
Highlights a rare case of cardiac fibroma in an adult, noting the lack of diagnostic and surgical guidelines for this population.
Adult cardiac fibroma may require individualized decisions; this case leaves open standardized diagnostic and surgical guidelines.
Cardiac fibromas are rare benign tumors typically occurring in children, with limited data available in adults.1,2 Diagnostic and treatment guidelines are lacking, but surgical resection is considered the primary treatment.1 However, guidance on surgical strategies is scarce.3
