CARDIAC FIBROMA, A RARE PRIMARY TUMOUR- A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 39
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF CASE A 5-year-old female child presented with easy fatiguability, fever and chest pain of 2 months’ duration, prior to which she was asymptomatic. This rare way of presentation of the child made us document the data. The child was immunised for age. She was active, alert and had attained developmental milestones for her age. On systemic examination, shape of the chest appeared normal with no precordial bulging. On palpation, Apex beat was palpable at left 5th intercostal space at the midclavicular line. There was no evidence of parasternal heave and thrill on examination. First and second heart sounds were heard in all the four cardiac areas and were of normal intensity. Ejection systolic murmur was heard in the 2nd left intercostal space. Echocardiography revealed dilated, well-circumscribed, homogeneous mass attached to the right ventricular outflow tract causing mild obstruction.
