Neuroma in the region of the atrioventricular node.
A three month old infant died of apparent sudden infant death syndrome. Autopsy showed a neuroma in the region of the atrioventricular node, unassociated with neurofibromatosis. The atrioventricular node and bundle of His were normal. It was not possible to ascribe the sudden death to the neuroma.
