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.
Ultrasound
- On ultrasound, rhabdomyoma is identified by single or multi foci hyper echoic mass(es) located adjacent to the myocardium.[1]
- X-Rays of the chest and affected areas of the body may be helpful in the diagnosis of rhabdomyomas.
