Resection of intracardiac tumors in infants
Abstract
Intracardiac tumors in children are rare, mostly benign, and occasionally related to genetic syndromes (p.e. tuberous sclerosis or Gorlin syndrome). Echocardiography, CT and MRI are the golden standard for diagnosis and surgical removal is indicated when the tumor is symptomatic by hemodynamic interference. We present 4 cases of infants with an intracardiac tumor, all of them needing surgical removal.
