| Abstract: | Rhabdomyoma is the most common primary cardiac tumor in infants and children and is often associated with tuberous sclerosis. Surgical resection may be indicated and, if so, is usually curative. We describe a rhabdomyoma in an infant who presented with severe myocardial ischemia necessitating orthotopic heart transplantation. |
