Fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma is the most common cardiac tumor in fetuses. However, this benign tumor can cause hemodynamic repercussions and intrauterine fetal mortality. The present study reports a case of rare fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma located in the right atrium, accompanied by premature restriction of the foramen ovale and moderate pericardial effusion, as determined by tomographic ultrasound ...

Introduction. Rhabdomyomas of the head and neck are exceptionally rare benign mesenchymal tumors. Rare cases have been reported to involve other sites of the body including the head and neck regions. Case Presentation. We report a case of voluminous extracardiac adult rhabdomyoma affecting adult patients and initially seen as slowly growing, indolent neoplasms. The patient is a seventy-year old...

Rhabdomyoma are the most common benign cardiac tumors. These tumors with favorable prognosis because they frequently do not cause symptoms and often regress in numbers size. Due to frequent association tuberous sclerosis complex resulting neurological impairment, can be unfavorable (Sciacca et al., 2014) [1]. Here we report a case of 7 months old boy who was diagnosed as rhabdomyoma during feta...

A 7-year-old boy was presented with a long-standing slowly growing mass of the left supraorbital area. A biopsy specimen revealed a bland spindle cell proliferation with scattered polygonal cells with acidophilic cytoplasm and cross-striations. Our differential diagnosis included rhabdomyoma of fetal type, leiomyoma with trapping of regenerating skeletal muscle elements, and rhabdomyomatous mes...

Cardiac rhabdomyoma is the most commonest [1] cardiac tumor detected in intrauterine life as well as in early infancy. It constitutes about 70–80 % of all cardiac tumors reported in various clinical series and to 40 % in all autopsy series. It is actually a hamartoma of developing myocytes [2]. Majority of these rhabdomyomas have a benign course and regress spontaneously, however, the clinical ...

An intracavitary right ventricular tumour was identified echocardiographically before operation in an infant with a rhabdomyoma of the heart. Necropsy showed associated tuberous sclerosis.

A case of congenital rhabdomyoma of the heart in a 5-month-old Korean infant is described. The patient presented with a congenital supraventricular tachyarrhymia that was detected in utero by fetal sonography. The tumor was multiple, but no obvious association with tuberous sclerosis complex was demonstrated. Microscopic examination revealed classic "spider cells" with rich glycogen content. Ul...

Cardiac rhabdomyoma (CR) is the most common primary cardiac tumor in childhood. Although CRs are asymptomatic in many cases, they may cause arrhythmia, heart failure and fetal hydrops. Babies with arrhythmia in the neonatal period must be investigated for structural heart disease including CR. Cardiac rhabdomyoma may either present as an isolated tumor or may be related with tuberous sclerosis....
