Cardiac fibromas, the second most common primary cardiac tumor in children after rhabdomyoma, are characterized by their composition of connective tissue and fibroblasts. Despite their benign nature, they can present symptomatic challenges such as intracavitary obstruction, coronary artery compromise, and conduction defects, which may lead to sudden death. Pediatric cardiac tumors often coincide with genetic conditions, exemplified by the association of rhabdomyoma with tuberous sclerosis and the presence of cardiac fibromas in 3% to 5% of patients with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, also known as Gorlin or Gorlin-Goltz syndrome.This continuing education activity provides an in-depth review of the diagnostic workup for cardiac fibromas. Clinicians enhance their understanding of this condition and optimize patient care by exploring the various imaging modalities and treatment options available. Further, this activity emphasizes the importance of a collaborative approach among healthcare professionals in managing cardiac fibroma cases. Through interdisciplinary coordination, including dermatologists, pediatricians, geneticists, and cardiologists, healthcare teams can provide comprehensive care tailored to each patient’s unique needs, ultimately improving outcomes for individuals affected by cardiac fibromas.
