Clin Case Rep. 2023 Feb 10;11(2):e6949. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.6949. eCollection 2023 Feb.

Abstract

Primary cardiac tumors are very rare in infants. Here we present an 11-month-old infant with a pericardial inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor who presented with symptoms of respiratory distress and cardiac tamponade. The tumor was surgically removed, and the patient received medical treatment; the patient had no problem with follow-up.

Keywords: cardiac tumor; inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor; pediatrics; pericardium.
