Primary cardiac tumors are one of the rare causes of intracardiac masses in pediatric population. Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas are benign cardiac tumors with predilection for valvular endocardium, and the presentation is dictated by the cardiac structure involved and the tumor characteristics. We report an infant with cardiac papillary fibroelastoma manifesting as an asymptomatic left ventricular outflow tract mass. This case is being presented to emphasize the rare occurrence of cardiac papillary fibroelastoma in pediatric population and to be cognizant of this entity when considering differential diagnosis of intracardiac masses in this subgroup.
原发性心脏肿瘤是小儿心脏肿块的罕见病因之一。心脏乳头状弹力纤维瘤是一种良性心脏肿瘤，偏爱心瓣膜内膜，其表现取决于受累的心脏结构和肿瘤特征。我们报告了一例表现为无症状左心室流出道肿块的婴儿心脏乳头状弹力纤维瘤病例。本病例旨在强调心脏乳头状弹力纤维瘤在小儿人群中的罕见发生，并在考虑该亚组中心内肿块的鉴别诊断时注意到这一实体。
