  • Title: New-onset cardiac rhabdomyoma beyond infancy in a patient with tuberous sclerosis complex.
    Author: Thatte NM, Guleserian KJ, Veeram Reddy SR.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 2016 Feb; 26(2):396-9. PubMed ID: 26169191.
    Abstract:
    Cardiac rhabdomyomas in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex are usually detected antenatally or during infancy, with subsequent stabilisation or spontaneous regression. Development of a new cardiac rhabdomyoma beyond infancy is very rare. We report a male child who needed resection of a large rhabdomyoma in neonatal life, and then developed a new-onset rhabdomyoma at 2 years of age in a different location, needing another resection. Routine surveillance for cardiac rhabdomyomas in asymptomatic patients with tuberous sclerosis is essential.
