“…Initial clinical manifestations are heterogeneous and include symptoms such as arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, coronary infarction, and sudden death [4,5]. Usually two-dimensional echocardiography [2,6,7] is the diagnostic modality of choice in cardiac tumors because of its realtime approach and the widespread availability. Nevertheless, tissue characterization of echocardiography is often not readable or the whole tumor cannot be three-dimen-sionally assessed because of its size.…”

Giant fibroma in the left ventricle of an infant: imaging findings in magnetic resonance imaging, echocardiography and angiography

The diagnosis of a rare case of giant intraventricular fibroma in an infant by MRI in comparison with other imaging modalities, such as echocardiography and angiography, is discussed. For preoperative planning only MRI showed the myocardial infiltration. The myocardial blood supply of the tumor could be evaluated qualitatively by contrastenhanced MRI, but the direct visualization of the distally located branches could only be assessed by coronary angiography. Magnetic resonance coronary angiography using the navigator technique failed to depict the distal part of the coronaries. The obstruction of the left ventricle outflow tract could be assessed and quantified by all imaging modalities.We demonstrate the rare case of a female infant in whom echocardiography revealed an intracardiac mass of 32×30-mm adjacent to the antero-lateral wall of the left ventricle on the fourth day of life.
