    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Cardiac fibromas are rare benign tumors, typically diagnosed in children.
    • Adult presentation is uncommon, often mimicking other cardiac conditions.

    Observation:

    • A middle-aged woman presented with exertional chest pain and dyspnea.
    • Imaging revealed a heavily calcified myocardial mass, initially suspected as a hematoma due to prior chest trauma.

    Findings:

    • Surgical excision of the mass was performed.
    • Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of cardiac fibroma.
    • Complete symptom resolution was achieved post-surgery.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering cardiac fibroma in adult patients with cardiac masses.
  • Complete surgical excision is the recommended treatment, offering excellent prognosis.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing cardiac fibromas.
