Primary cardiac leiomyoma: a case report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Abstract: We report a case of primary cardiac leiomyoma in a five years old female revealed by poorly tolerated ventricular tachycardia reduced with external cardio version. Cardiac Ultrasonography found an echogenic mass in the lateral wall of the left ventricle (LV) without causing any obstruction. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) completed the anatomic study. Total surgical excision of the tumor was performed under cardiopulmonary bypass. Histologic examination showed a cardiac leiomyoma. The mid-term follow-up was uneventful. Keywords: cardiac tumor, benign tumor, leiomyoma, ventricular tachycardia, surgery, child.
