Abstract
A pregnant patient presented with symptomatic ventricular tachycardia. Echocardiography revealed a large intramyocardial mass. Surgical resection was attempted in conjunction with cryoablation of the surrounding myocardial tissue. Histologic examination of the resected mass revealed cardiac neurofibroma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of cardiac neurofibroma in a pregnant patient in the absence of any neurocutaneous syndromes such as neurofibromatosis.Entities:
