Primary tumors of heart are rare in infants. We report a case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in a 4-month-old baby girl who presented with a massive pericardial effusion. She underwent complete surgical excision of the tumor. This is the first reported case from the Middle Eastern region. The clinical behavior and management of these rare infantile cardiac tumors are discussed briefly in this report.
