Abstract

Primary cardiac tumors are unusual entities. About 70% of these are benign and, of these, cardiac myxoma accounts for 50%. Primary cardiac tumors may present at almost any age, but they most commonly appear in the third to sixth decade of the patient’s life. Fibromas are benign neoplasm comprised of typical spindle shape fibroblast cells. Fibroblasts are present in various tissues but it is surprising that this neoplasm is rare and confined to few organs. Rarely, it is found as a primary tumor of the heart. Here we are presenting a case of right ventricular fibroma which was diagnosed incidentally during coronary angiogram.
