Introduction
Cardiac tumors can be classified as primary versus metastatic tumors.
The primary cardiac tumors (PCTs) are rare tumors that are further
categorized as either benign or malignant (1). Their overall prevalence
is between 0.0017% and 0.028% with predominantly benign tumors
(75-80%) (1,2). Among the primary benign cardiac tumors, myxoma is the
most common one followed by lipoma, fibroelastoma, rhabdomyoma, fibroma,
hemangioma, teratoma, cystic tumor, and paraganglioma respectively (1).
Herein we report a case of a young adult man with primary cardiac
angiofibroma which is also a primary benign cardiac mass but it is
extremely rare insofar as being limited to a few case reports in the
medical literature (3,4). Thereafter, we discuss its diagnostic features
including cardiac MRI and histopathologic findings with the aim of
increasing awareness of this infrequent entity.
