A 3 year old boy presented with a cardiac murmur. Except for mildly impaired physical condition that was more likely due to asthmatic bronchitis, he was asymptomatic. Cardiac echocardiography disclosed a large tumor in the left atrium originating from the interatrial septum. The patient was immediately referred to surgery for excision of the tumor. Histological examination of the tumor showed a typical papillary fibroelastoma. The occurrence of a papillary fibroelastoma in a child is a rarity.
一名3岁男孩因心脏杂音前来就诊。除了身体状况轻度受损，可能是由于哮喘性支气管炎所致外，他并无症状。心脏超声心动图显示左心房有一个起源于房间隔的大肿瘤。该患者立即被转诊至外科进行肿瘤切除。对肿瘤进行组织学检查显示为典型的乳头状纤维弹性瘤。儿童发生乳头状纤维弹性瘤实属罕见。
