description Rhabdomyomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors in childhood, and are often associated with tuberous sclerosis. We report 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.
