Pedunculated left ventricular rhabdomyoma
EP Howanitz, DW Teske, SJ Qualman, S Finck and JW Kilman
A patient with an unusual left ventricular outflow tract obstruction caused
by a solitary pedunculated left ventricular rhabdomyoma is described.
Diagnosis was based on two-dimensional echocardiographic findings alone.
The obstructive portion of the tumor was successfully removed from the
interventricular septum by an aortic root approach.
