Abstract:
Reported is the successful treatment of a 2-month-old boy with multiple inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors in the right ventricle protruding into the right atrium through the tricuspid annulus. The patient underwent subtotal excision on cardiopulmonary bypass with no intraoperative or postoperative complications. Cardiac inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are rare lesions, and surgical resections in patients as young as 2 months have not been previously described. In this report we review the relevant literature and discuss the prevalence, histology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment of cardiac inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.
