ABSTRACT

Rhabdomyoma is a primary cardiac benign tumor. This report described a 4 days-old newborn born to eutocic delivery at 40 weeks of gestational age and good birthweight. He was born through transpelvic route with no perinatal morbidity, Apgar test of 9/9, but few hours after birth, he was detected an intensity II/IV cardiac murmur with no other clinical signs. The echocardiographic results showed pedicled tumor mass with obstructive characteristics of the outlet tract of the left ventricle, thus generating around 80 mmHg gradient at that level. This wide-base, pearly and flat surface tumor was excised by means of oblique aortotomy using extracorporeal circulation. The postoperative phase was uncomplicated. The patient recovers with neither residues nor sequelae after 12 months of follow/up.
