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.
Natural history and complications
- The majority of cases regress spontaneously(partial or complete),however there are reported cases which surgical interventions were necessary,especially if tumor causes cardiac symptoms such as arrhythmia or obstruction. [1][2][3]
- Early clinical features include heart failure, cardiac murmur, and arrhythmia.
- Tumors larger in diameter are more likely to cause arrhythmias or hemodynamic instability, which are associated with an increased risk of death.
- The majority of patients with cardiac rhabdomyoma remain asymptomatic; however, some affected patients become symptomatic in the perinatal period.
