Abstract
-
The most common primary heart tumor in infants is the rhabdomyoma.It is known that tuberous sclerosis is found in half of the patients with cardiac rhabdomyoma. Because the prognosis of this tumor associated with subaortic stenosis is poor,the surgical intervention is indicated.We report one case of left ventricular rhabdomyoma with tuberous sclerosis.
