Cardiac rhabdomyoma: surgical treatment in the neonate

A Corno, G de Simone, G Catena and C Marcelletti

Primary cardiac tumors are rare. Of the benign lesions, rhabdomyoma predominates in infants and children. The natural history of patients with cardiac rhabdomyoma is poor. About 50% die in the first month of life and 80% by 1 year of age. We report on the two youngest infants ever operated upon successfully for removal of symptomatic ventricular cardiac rhabdomyoma. The operations were performed through a left ventriculotomy in one and through a right ventriculotomy in the other during the first day of life.
