Abstract
Primary cardiac tumors in children are uncommon and rarely demand surgical intervention. We report a malignant tumor arising from the aortic root in a 5-year-old boy presenting with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and tumor embolism, its surgical management using the Ross procedure, and the unique histopathological aspects of the tumor.
