title: An adult case of cardiac fibroma.
abstract: The patient, a 48-year-old woman with cardiac fibroma, is the second oldest patient with this disease in Japan. Her electrocardiogram showed findings compatible with old high lateral, posterior and possibly lateral myocardial infarction, regions which corresponded to the tumor site. In patients whose electrocardiogram suggests a previous myocardial infarction (pseudo myocardial infarction), the possibility of intramyocardial tumor should be taken into consideration.
