[Cardiac rhabdomyosarcoma. Its echographic diagnosis].
We report a case of cardiac rhabdomyosarcoma whose initial clinical features were fever and palpitations due to documented ventricular tachycardia. Sequential two-dimensional echocardiographic studies pointed out the presumed diagnosis, showing intracavitary masses at multiple sites appearing within a short period of time. The postmortem examination confirmed the diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma.
