“…The clinical and imaging features in the present case were in keeping with rhabdomyoma except for the fact that there was only a single tumor, as rhabdomyomas are frequently multiple. In accordance with Motto et al 4 who reported a case of rhabdomyoma with no changes in the mass dimensions that occurred during a 14‐year‐follow‐up, our patient also had no significant symptomatic or echocardiographic changes during the follow‐up period.…”

“…Among subjects with cardiac rhabdomyoma, 51–86% have tuberous sclerosis, whereas more than half of patients with tuberous sclerosis show cardiac rhabdomyomas 2,3 . Cardiac rhabdomyomas may present at birth, with a wide spectrum of clinical features, ranging from occasional echocardiographic detection in asymptomatic newborns to presentations with cardiac rhythm disturbances, Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome, congestive heart failure, and/or sudden death 4 . The treatment of these tumors is usually conservative, and the patient is usually followed up clinically since most rhabdomyomas regress.…”

“…Usually rhabdomyoma show regression or will disappear within the third trimester of pregnancy or postnatally [44]. These tumors are usually characterized by multiple masses, with a pedunculated or spherical intramural shape, and they most commonly involve the ventricular myocardium where they appear echodense [45]. The size of the tumors may vary from miliary nodules measuring less than 1 mm up to masses with a diameter of 10 cm.…”
