Rhabdomyoma of the heart: a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge

S Houser, N Forbes and S Stewart

The sector scan was decisive in establishing the diagnosis of multiple rhabdomyomas of the heart in a newborn infant. Successful resection of the tumors was performed with profound hypothermia and limited cardiopulmonary bypass. Nine months later, the infant died of the complications of tuberous sclerosis. This case report documents the diagnostic accuracy of the sector scan and the potential benefit of aggressive surgical management of this condition.
