Popis: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour usually has a benign course and is very rarely associated with the heart. It can have life-threatening consequences, depending on its position or the presence of aggressive and metastatic complications. A 3-month-old boy presented with pericardial tamponade and was diagnosed with intrapericardial inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour associated with Coronavirus OC43. A large tumour attached to the left ventricle was completely removed by surgical resection and he made a full recovery.ALK: anaplastic lymphoma kinase; CMV: cytomegalovirus; CRP: C-reactive protein; EB: Epstein-Barr virus; ESR: erythrocyte sedimentation rate; IM: inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour; NSAI: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; PTFE: polytetrafluoroethylene; SMA: smooth muscle actin.
