Papillary fibroelastomas are benign primary cardiac tumors that usually arise from the valve apparatus and are rare in the pediatric population. Involvement of the tricuspid valve is even less common with only a few cases reported in the literature. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is a valuable examination that aids in differentiating a tumor from a thrombus. We present the case of an 11-month-old girl referred by her pediatrician to investigate a murmur noted since birth. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a pathologically proven papillary fibroelastoma arising from the tricuspid valve characterized by magnetic resonance imaging in an infant.
乳头状纤维弹性瘤是一种良性原发性心脏肿瘤，通常起源于瓣膜结构，在儿科人群中较为罕见。三尖瓣受累更为少见，文献中仅报道了少数病例。心脏磁共振成像（MRI）是一项有助于区分肿瘤与血栓的重要检查。我们报告了一名11个月大女孩的病例，她因出生后即被儿科医生发现心脏杂音而前来就诊。据我们所知，这是首例经病理证实、通过磁共振成像对婴儿三尖瓣乳头状纤维弹性瘤进行特征描述的报告。
