M.Serdar KÜÇÜKOĞLU1, Hüsniye YÜKSEL1, Sinan ÜNER1, Halil TÜRKOĞLU1, Ç. BAYINDIR1

Cardiac rhabdomyomas occur exclusively in infancy and childhood and result in myocardial depression, inflow or outwlow obstruction, rhythm and conduction disturbances. We report a case of cardiac rhabdomyoma in a 42-year-old woman. Her presenting symptom was heart failure. A diagnosis of heart tumor was suspected by two-dimensional echocardiography which showed a left ventricular mass and pericardial effusion. The diagnosis was confirmed by right atrial biopsy.
