1 Cardiac Fibroma in an Infant: Complete Resection After a Blalock-Taussig Shunt as Initial Palliation

2 Fig 1 Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. (A, B) Initial preoperative MRI of the neonate: T1-weighted axial and coronal images show a large, soft-tissue mass obstructing most of the right ventricular (RV) cavity. This mass measured 2.6 × 3.8 cm, with a very small cavity for inlet and outlet. (C, D) Follow-up axial and coronal MRI images at 1 year after a Blalock-Taussig shunt. The RV mass shows wide attachment at the free wall without a change in size. (E, F) A follow-up MRI at 9 years of age indicated that the mass had not significantly changed in size and due to the normal growth of her heart, the mass looked relatively smaller compared with the previous MRI taken at birth.

3 Fig 2 Surgical view of the mass shows the well-circumscribed, firm, gray-white colored mass (5 × 4 cm) originated from the right ventricular free wall. (RV = right ventricle.)
