| Popis: | Cardiac rhabdomyoma is a hamartoma comprised of cardiac myocytes. It is the classic cardiac manifestation of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) which is an autosomal dominant genetic syndrome with multi-organ involvement, but highly variable phenotype. Cardiac rhabdomyoma is most commonly diagnosed in infancy, 70 to 90% of whom have TSC. However, TSC-associated cardiac rhabdomyoma usually shows spontaneous regression within the first two years of life and hence is extremely rare in adults. We present a 34-year-old woman with TSC who was found to have a cardiac rhabdomyoma when she was referred to the cardiology clinic for evaluation and to establish care. Cardiac rhabdomyoma is usually asymptomatic. However, depending on size and location, it can cause outflow or inflow tract obstruction and aberrant electrical conduction. Hence, appropriate surveillance is important. |
