We describe an interventricular septum mass in 1 years old child, followed during 14 years. The mass did not grow up over time, the patient did not experienced any arrythmia, and did not developed heart failure. A complete diagnosis of interventricular Fibroma was made at the age of 14 years old when the patient underwent to cardiac MRI. A close follow up was in this case the winner strategy, saving him from an early unnecessary cardiac surgery.
