It is a benign tumor consisting of fibroblasts and connective tissues, typically associated with a favorable prognosis. Nonetheless, large fibromas may have a poorer prognosis due to the increased risk of arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. In this case report, we describe a 38-year-old woman who experienced chest discomfort and shortness of breath roughly 3 months following the total resection of a left ventricular fibroma. The initial suspicion was the recurrence of fibroma, but upon further investigation, an intriguing scenario unfolded: the formation of a hematoma and abscess at the previous surgical site. Ultimately, the patient underwent redo-cardiac surgery. https://rhythm.tums.ac.ir/index.php/jthc/article/view/2107 https://rhythm.tums.ac.ir/index.php/jthc/article/download/2107/1207
