Abstract
|
|
|
Primary cardiac tumors are known to be rare. Of the benign primary tumors, rhabdomyoma predominates in neonates and infants. Tuberous sclerosis is found in half of the patients with rhabdomyomas. Rhabdomyomas demonstrate benign pathological
characteristics and may regress spontaneously that resection of the intracavitary obstructing portion of tumors are recommended.
We performed resection of intraatrial rhabdomyoma which had been obstructing mitral valve orifice and caused heart failure in a neonate. Postoperatively, fungal endocarditis developed and after 3 days, rapid growth and extension of the vegetation
in the
aorta obstructed the flow through the ascending aorta and resulted in hemodynamic deterioration.
