“…4, 5 Cardiac manifestations of the disease include multiple rhabdomyomas with onset during fetal life, which if large enough may cause obstructive features or arrhythmias causing sudden cardiac death. 6, 7 Multiple Rhabdomyomas could be the cause for intrauterine fetal demise, along with various cutaneous manifestations that can be associated with TSC. Hypomelanotic macules “ash leaf” or Fitzpatrick patches are ash leaf-shaped or polygonal white spots that are seen enhanced by a Wood lamp.…”

Tuberous sclerosis complex is an autosomal dominant condition with variable penetrance. It is characterized by tuberose deposits in various organ systems. Although clinical features predominate neurocutaneous manifestations, cardiac, kidney, and lung involvement are common. Cardiac involvement is marked by the presence of multiple rhabdomyomas and in some cases arrhythmias. In the absence of symptoms, rhabdomyomas require no specific treatment. However, cardiac arrhythmias are unpredictable and may be the cause of sudden cardiac death in some cases. Although treatment is mainly symptomatic, drugs like rapamycin have shown promise in the regression of astrocytomas and angiofibromas. Here, we are reporting two cases of tuberous sclerosis of which one succumbed to arrhythmias and the other to possible sudden cardiac death.

“…Mich et al [19] stressed the significance of tumor extension into pulmonary veins and an unusual site of tumor ori gin as significant clues to the diagnosis of malignancy. Yet, benign myxomas may protrude into the pulmonary veins, and extraseptal insertion is observed in a minority of cases [10], In this context computerized tomography and nuclear magnetic resonance scanning appear supplementary to conventional echocardiography as do esophageal and color image processing echocardiography [8,[36][37][38][39][40], These examinations hold promise for the future concern ing the detection/exclusion of malignancy in cases of echocardiographically identified cardiac tumors associ ated with constitutional symptoms and/or pericardial effusion.…”

Pedunculated Left Atrial Rhabdomyosarcoma Simulating a Prolapsing Myxoma: Limitations of Echocardiography

The advent of M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography has meant a revolution in the diagnosis of intracardiac myxomas. However, limitations remain since an array of primary or secondary intracardiac neoplasms may simulate the clinical and échocardiographie picture of a myxoma. The subject is reviewed reporting a rare case of a pedunculated, prolapsing left atrial rhabdomyosarcoma mistakenly diagnosed as a left atrial myxoma with systemic manifestations. The development of échocardiographie imaging technology with further improved resolution and/or tissue-characterizing ability or use of supplementary imaging (MR scanning, CT scanning) is necessary in order to identify these rare malignant cases preoperatively among apparent myxomas and to delineate tumor infiltration with respect to radical treatment.
