  ABSTRACT: Cardiac fibroma is a rare benign tumor that mainly affects children. It is the second most common cardiac tumor in children after rhabdomyoma. We report the case of a 3-year-old child admitted to the Albert Royer University Hospital in Dakar for cardiac arrhythmia, in whom imaging revealed an intracardiac mass suggestive of fibroma. The diagnosis is based on the appearance of the tumor in the imaging. The patient is awaiting surgery. A review of the literature was conducted to clarify the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics of this tumor.
