Abstract

Background: Primary cardiac neoplasms are rare, and a correct diagnosis is essential to planning the most appropriate treatment. Objective: To demonstrate the role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in the assessment, diagnosis, and follow-up of cardiac fibroma. Case report: Female 21-year-old patient with a myocardial mass detected on echocardiogram. CMR confirmed a diagnosis of cardiac fibroma. The patient chose to be followed up, and her condition remained stable after six years. Discussion: Cardiac fibromas are the second most common neoplasm in children and young people. On CMR, it is characterized by intense and homogeneous delayed enhancement. CMR plays an important role in the assessment of cardiac masses.
