  • Title: Left ventricular outflow obstruction produced by a pedunculated fibroma in a newborn: clinical, angiographic, echocardiographic and surgical observations.
    Author: Oliva PB, Breckinridge JC, Johnson ML, Brantigan CO, O'Meara OP.
    Journal: Chest; 1978 Nov; 74(5):590-3. PubMed ID: 738105.
    Abstract:
    An unusual case of a one-day-old infant with significant left ventricular outflow obstruction produced by a pedunculated fibroma is described. The clinical findings were indistinguishable from severe valvular or subvalvular aortic stenosis. The tumor was difficult to detect by echocardiography. It produced an echo-free widening of the left ventricular outflow tract. Left ventricular cineangiography clearly demonstrated a mobile mass beneath the aortic valve.
