[Rhabdomyoma of the heart: three case report (author's transl)].
Authors described three infants under three months of age with cardiac rhabdomyoma observed during a period of eight years. There was no clinical or pathological evidence of tuberous sclerosis. During this period of time they found two cases of tuberous sclerosis, without associated rhabdomyoma, among 2,457 necropsies. On the other hand none of 11 children with tuberous sclerosis under observation in this centre had any clinical evidence of rhabdomyoma. Presenting symptoms of the three cases were cyanosis, heart failure, heart murmurs and alterations of heart rhythm. Diagnosis was suspected on the bases of eco and angiocardiographic studies and was finally confirmed by necropsy. Surgical exeresis of the tumor was attempted in one of the cases, but was not possible because it was too large.
