Cardiac fibromas can show various clinical presentations and hence being detected late in life. Given potential complications of surgical biopsy, diagnosis of cardiac fibromas is primarily based on echocardiography, CT, and CMR. Rhythm disturbances as PVCs are common. Due to association with ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, preventive ICD placement might be appropriate on an individual basis.
