cardiac fibroma
Cardiac fibromas are benign tumours, often diagnosed in childhood, but rarely they may be diagnosed in adults or the elderly.
Synopsis
myocardial calcified mass within the myocardium. With a previous history of chest trauma, a calcified myocardial haematoma was initially suspected.
Porgnosis
Complete excision of cardiac fibromas, where possible, is advised and is associated with excellent survival.
