Extracardiac rhabdomyomas are rare benign tumours showing striated muscle differentiation. Seventy percent of these lesions occur in the head and neck region. The most common sites for these lesions are the larynx, pharynx, and the floor of the mouth. There has been only one previous report of a rhabdomyoma of the oesophagus; two further cases are described.

A seven-month-old girl had subaortic stenosis caused by a single intracavitary rhabdomyoma unassociated with tuberous sclerosis. Diagnosis was formulated on the basis of two-dimensional echocardiography and Doppler technique findings alone, and surgery was successful.

rhabdomyomata are probably the most common tumors that occur very rarely during infancy. in this paper, we report the case of a 49-day-old infant who was diagnosed by echocardiography examination with left ventricle outflow tract (lvot) obstruction caused by rhabdomyoma. the infant underwent surgical approach, and her mass was shaved. finally, she was discharged from hospital in good general co...

Since 1980, 11 examples of cardiac tumour have been detected in the fetus out of a total of 794 congenital cardiac malformations. Patients were referred because of fetal hydrops in two, a family history of tuberous sclerosis in two, and because of the detection of a tumour mass during a scan at the local hospital in seven. The gestational age range at presentation was from 20-34 weeks. Of eight...

Objective: To describe rare clinical and morphological forms of right ventricular neoplasms (mesenchymal hamartoma, rhabdomyoma) in infants which required surgical treatment infancy.Methods: We performed 2 radical operations to remove neoplasms: neonatal mesenchymal hamartoma infantile rhabdomyoma.Results: confirmed the effectiveness surgery for rhabdomyoma based on an 11-year postoperative fol...

Fetal rhabdomyomas are well-documented tumors, affecting both children and adults that are composed of immature striated muscle at the sixth to tenth-week stage of development. Although there is often a predilection for the head and neck region, these tumors have been identified in a wide array of anatomic sites. A primary cutaneous presentation, however, has not yet been described. We report t...
