In this case, we describe a 9‐year‐old child who presented with chest pain due to a huge right ventricle fibroma. With the support of cardiopulmonary bypass, the tumor was successfully removed, but to avoid right ventricular rupture and tricuspid valve injury, only a small amount of tumor tissue remained in the myocardial tissue. Pathological examination confirmed that the ventricular tumor was a fibrous borderline tumor. The patient has normal cardiac and tricuspid function at a 3‐month follow‐up. It is reported that the prognosis of patients younger than 17 years old at the time of diagnosis is poor, and the long‐term prognosis of this child needs further follow‐up.
