“…This condition can be diagnosed by TTE, TEE, CT and magnetic resonance imaging [5]. The prognosis is often poor, with 75% of patients having distant metastases at the time of diagnosis.…”

“…Although complete surgical resection is the most important prognostic factor, systemic chemotherapy and local radiotherapy for residual tumors are both important for possible survival [1]. However, there is no consensus on radiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy due to the poor prognosis [5]. Heart transplantation has also been attempted in cases where these treatments were ineffective and metastasis was excluded [7].…”

“…In fact, rhabdomyosarcoma is very rare in adults compared to children [6]. Rhabdomyosarcoma, which often originates in the ventricular wall, spreads aggressively and has a high mortality rate [5]. In this case report, we will present a patient who was operated on for an intracardiac tumor with recurrent metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma detected ten months later.…”

Rhabdomyosarcoma, which accounts for 20% of all malignant tumors of the heart, is an aggressive tumor originating in the ventricular wall. These tumors are the second most common malignant primary tumor of the heart after angiosarcoma. Despite treatment options, such as surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, recurrence is common and mortality is high. Among these patients, survival with surgical resection is around six months to one year. In this case report, we discuss a patient who presented with recurrent rhabdomyosarcoma with distant metastasis after surgical intervention. A 56-year-old male patient who underwent left atrial mass excision and mitral valve replacement ten months prior was admitted with recurrent metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma.

“…Prognoz oldukça kötüdür. Primer tümörün çıkarılması ve ardışık radyoterapi ve kemoterapiye rağmen hastalar genellikle bir yıldan az yaşar (6). Bu hastalarda orta ve uzun dönem prognozun kötü olmasına rağmen, akut semptomların rahatlatılması ve az da olsa yaşam süresinin uzatılması için cerrahi endikasyon vardır (4).…”

Çocukluk Çağında Nadir Görülen Bir Olgu: Sol Atriyal Rabdomyosarkom

Primer kardiyak tümörler çok nadirdir, kalbin primer kötü huylu tümörlerinin yaklaşık %20'sini rabdomyosarkomlar oluşturur. Kitlenin lokalizasyonuna göre semptomlar değişir. Teşhis sıklıkla transtorasik ekokardiyografi veya transözefagial ekokardiyografi ile konur. Rabdomyosarkomların mortalitesi çok yüksek olduğundan, kesin teşhisin konulabilmesi, akut semptomların giderilebilmesi ve hayatta kalım süresinin uzatılabilmesi için cerrahi olarak çıkarılması öngörülmektedir. Solunum sıkıntısı ve plevral efüzyon ile gelen ve yapılan ekokardiyografide sol atriyal kitle saptanan olgu acil olarak açık kalp ameliyatına alındı, sol atriyal kitle çıkarıldı ve kesin teşhis histopatolojik inceleme sonucu konulabildi.
