Echocardiographic evidence of left ventricular tumor in a neonate.
We present the case of a ten-hour-old infant with clinical findings suggestive of hypoplastic left-heart syndrome. A diagnosis of left ventricular tumor was made by echocardiographic examination. This diagnosis was confirmed at autopsy, when a large rhabdomyoma was found in the interventricular septum, obliterating the major portion of the left ventricular cavity. The echocardiographic findings are discussed.
