A 17-month-old child with an asymmetrical bulging of the chest due to an intramural fibroma of the heart is described. The clinical symptoms that may be caused by cardiac tumours are discussed. To detect these tumours several investigations can be performed, of which echocardiography is the most specific. Surgical resection of these tumours should be attempted, even if a complete resection is not possible.
本文描述了一名17个月大的儿童，因心脏壁内纤维瘤导致胸部不对称隆起。文中讨论了可能由心脏肿瘤引起的临床症状。为了检测这些肿瘤，可以进行多项检查，其中超声心动图最为特异。即使无法完全切除，也应尝试对这些肿瘤进行手术切除。
