A Rare Case In Childhood: Left Atrial Rhabdomyosarcoma

Abstract

Primary cardiac tumors are very rare with malignant tumors generating approximately 20% of rhabdomyosarcomas. Symptoms change according to the localization of the mass. It is often diagnosed with transthoracic echocardiography or transeosophageal echocardiography. Due to high mortality rates of rhabdomyosarcomas, surgical excision is required for initiating the definitive diagnosis, the relief of acute symptoms and prolongation of survival time. Our patient was admitted with respiratory distress and pericardial effusion, and a mass was detected in the left atrium by echocardiography. Emergency surgery was performed to the patient, left atrial mass was removed and the definitive diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination
