Title: Spontaneous regression of huge cardiac rhabdomyoma in an infant Authors: Besikçi, Resmiye; Batmaz, Gülhis; Arslan, Gülseren; Kafadar, Ihsan; Ahunbay, Gülay Abstract: Rhabdomyomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors in childhood, and are often associated with tuberous sclerosis. This article reports on a huge rhabdomyoma in an asymptomatic four hour old infant who presented initially with a murmur due to moderate subaortic stenosis. Followup showed regression of the tumour. Although the indications for surgical resection of symptomatic tumors are well established, medical follow-up should be the prefered treatment.
