Abstract
Primary heart tumors are exceptional in infants and children. Most common is the rhabdomyoma, often associated with tuberous sclerosis (Bourneville's disease). This tumor is generally believed to have no hemodynamic effects in the majority of cases. Recently, severe obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract by a solitary tumor was diagnosed during pregnancy and emergency surgery was needed soon after birth.
