[Cardiac rhabdomyoma in tuberous sclerosis. Presentation of a case].
We report of a case of cardiac tumor in a three months old infant, examined with echocardiography because a murmur was noted on routine examination. Further investigations brought out the diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis. Spontaneous regression of the tumor mass occurred in the following months. No signs of cardiac dysfunction of CNS involvement appeared. The peculiarity of rhabdomyoma as an early manifestation of tuberous sclerosis is emphasized.
