Cardiac fibrous hamartoma, Fibroelastic hamartoma of heart

Cardiology/oncology
Cardiac fibroma, also known as cardiac fibromatosis, cardiac fibrous hamartoma, fibroelastic hamartoma of heart and fibroma of heart is the second highest type of primary cardiac tumor seen in infants and children.[1] This benign tumor made by connective tissue and fibroblast is largely observed in the ventricles of the heart.[2] The left ventricle is the most common location of cardiac fibroma and accounts for approximately 57% of cardiac fibroma cases followed by the right ventricle with 27.5% of cases.[1] Symptoms of the disease depend on the size of the tumor, its location relative to the conduction system, and whether it obstructs blood flow. Two-thirds of children with this tumor are asymptomatic, showing no signs and symptoms. Therefore the cause of cardiac fibroma is unexplained but has been associated with Gorlin Syndrome.[3] Echocardiography is the primarily diagnostic method used to detect if an individual has cardiac fibroma.[4] Resection of the tumor is recommended however heart transplantation is done if surgery is not possible. Overall prognosis of resection is favorable and the chance of recurrence is scarcely reported.[5][6][7]
