Abstract
We present a rare case of giant left ventricular apical fibroma presenting as recurrent ventricular tachycardia in a 14-month-old girl. The diagnosis was made by echocardiography and chest computed tomography, and confirmed by histopathology. The fibroma was resected surgically, and the patient followed up for 4 years.
Keywords: Cardiac fibroma; LV mass; Ventricular tachycardia; cardiac tumor.
