Cardiac fibromas are extremely rare in children and typically do not involve the right atrium. We report the case of an 8-week-old infant with a right atrial fibroma who presented acutely in profound shock. Echocardiography revealed a large mass occupying the right atrium and obstructing flow through the tricuspid valve, prompting emergent surgical resection. To our knowledge, ours is the youngest patient to survive complete resection of a right atrial fibroma.
心脏纤维瘤在儿童中极为罕见,通常不累及右心房。我们报告一例8周大患有右心房纤维瘤的婴儿,该婴儿急性出现严重休克。超声心动图显示一个巨大肿块占据右心房并阻塞通过三尖瓣的血流,促使进行紧急手术切除。据我们所知,我们的患者是接受右心房纤维瘤完整切除术后存活的最年幼患者。
