Abstract
Cardiac tumours are rarely seen in childhood. Approximately 90% of these
tumors are benign and the most common benign tumor is rhabdomyoma. Fibroma,
teratoma and mixoma are the other causes of benign cardiac masses. In this case
we presented a newborn in whom a cardiac mass was detected in echocardiographic
examination. This cardiac mass grew significantly during the postnatal 7
months. Due to rapid progression and left ventricular outflow obstruction, the
mass was excised. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of
fibroma. Briefly, giant masses which cause permanent rhythm abnormalities,
myocardial dysfunction and ventricular inflow or outflow obstruction should be
removed surgically.

Abstract
Çocukluk döneminde kalp tümörleri oldukça nadir
görülür. Bu tümörlerin yaklaşık %90'ı iyi huyludur ve en sık görülen primer iyi
huylu tümörler rabdomiyomlardır. Fibroma, miksoma ve teratama ise daha nadir
görülen primer iyi huylu tümörlerdir. Bu yazıda yenidoğan döneminde yapılan
ekokardiyografisinde kardiyak kitle saptanan bir olgu sunuldu. Kardiyak kitle 7
aylık izlem süresince belirgin olarak büyüdü. Hızlı ilerleme göstermesi ve sol
ventrikül çıkım yoluna doğru uzanması nedeni kitle total olarak çıkartıldı. Dev
kardiyak kitleye cerrahi sonrası fibroma tanısı konuldu. Kardiyak kitleler
ventrikül giriş ve çıkış yolu darlığı, ritim bozukluğu ve hemodinamik bozukluk
oluşturduğu zaman çıkartılmaları gerekmektedir.
