Overview
Rhabdomyoma is a benign tumor of striated muscle. Rhabdomyomas are rare and can be classified into cardiac type and extracardiac type.The most common primary benign pediatric tumor of the heart is cardiac rhabdomyoma which can be seen mainly in fetal life and children, second most common primary benign cardiac tumor in children is fibroma. Most tumors regress spontaneously, prognosis depends on the location of tumor and size. Cardiac rhabdomyoma is strongly associated with tuberous sclerosis.
Treatment
Medical Therapy
- Treatment for rhabdomyoma is supportive care.[1][2] [3]
- patients with rhabdomyoma should be monitored with echocardiography and electrocardiography.
Adult rhabdomyoma
- Patients with laryngeal rhabdomyoma need immediate care such as nasal oxygen, intravenous fluids and if respiratory distress develops intubation before admission for surgery and surgical excision. [4]
- Patients with adult rhabdomyoma and shortness of breath should restrain from activities which exacerbate their breathing difficulty.
Cardiac rhabdomyoma
- Pharmacological treatment available for fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma is everolimus.[5]
- Patients with arrhythmias are treated with antiarrhythmic medications.
- Restriction on physical activities in those patients with cardiac clinical symptoms.
- Asymptomatic children with TSC and a rhabdomyoma should have echocardiography every one to three years until regression of cardiac rhabdomyoma is documented.
Genital rhabdomyoma
- In patients with genital rhabdomyoma, urinary tract obstruction may happen, therefore catheterization use may be necessary in order to avoid urinary tract infection.
- Pregnant patients need to be monitored closely, as they may require a cesarean delivery.[6][7]
