Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the pericardium in an 11‐month‐old infant: A case report

Abstract

Abstract Primary cardiac tumors are very rare in infants. Here we present an 11‐month‐old infant with a pericardial inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor who presented with symptoms of respiratory distress and cardiac tamponade. The tumor was surgically removed, and the patient received medical treatment; the patient had no problem with follow‐up.
