“…Urgent primary resection is indicated whenever the patient experiences life-threatening symptoms either due to arrhythmia or due to hemodynamic important obstruction of inflow or outflow tracts. Given the high potential for lethal arrhythmias, some investigators favour primary surgical resection even in asymptomatic patients [4,5]. If complete tumor resection is not possible, partial resection may be beneficial.…”

“…A variable degree of peripheral contrast enhancement of the mass associated with a hypo-intense core, which reflects the area of reduced vascularity, is a characteristic MRI finding, as seen in our case. Although complete surgical resection is the preferred choice of management in symptomatic children [2], our patient was asymptomatic and is currently being carefully observed. …”

“…Meist haben diese Fibrome keine eindeutige Kapsel, und obwohl sie nicht invasiv wachsen, können im Tumor selbst myokardiale Inseln gefunden werden. Dies kann häufig zu Verwechslungen mit einer myokardialen Infiltration führen [10]. Auch hier besteht die Diagnostik primär in der Echokardiographie, ergänzt durch die MRT-oder CT-Diagnostik.…”

“…In der Regel kön-nen diese Fibrome operativ sehr aggressiv angegangen werden; eine Einschränkung ist bei den Fibromen gegeben, die durch eine Größen ausdehnung eine komplette Resektion unmöglich machen. Hier sind auch Fälle bekannt, bei denen dann eine Herztransplantation durchgeführt werden musste [10].…”
