  • Title: Cardiac rhabdomyoma in a newborn two-dimensional echocardiographic diagnosis.
    Author: Ozkutlu S, Saraçlar M, Paşaoğlu I, Atalay S, Ayhan A.
    Journal: Jpn Heart J; 1991 May; 32(3):391-6. PubMed ID: 1920825.
    Abstract:
    Primary cardiac tumors are quite rare in the newborn period. Prior to surgery, cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography have been performed to confirm the two-dimensional echocardiographic findings. In this report a 2-day-old baby with the clinical impression of severe cyanotic congenital heart disease diagnosed by two-dimensional echocardiography as multiple rhabdomyoma and confirmed by surgery is presented. It is emphasized that two-dimensional echocardiography is a very useful technique for the diagnosis of primary cardiac tumors. By means of this method severely symptomatic newborns may be taken directly to surgery without prior cardiac catheterization, thus minimizing complications.
