- Abstract
A 6-month-old infant presenting with pericardial effusion was found to have a malignant rhabdoid tumor of the heart. As visualized by two-dimensional echocardiography and subsequently by contrast-enhanced computerized axial tomographic scanning, the tumor arose from the left ventricular free wall and grew into the pericardial space. Despite two courses of single-agent chemotherapy with doxorubicin, the child died 3 months later. This is the first reported case of malignant rhabdoid tumor of the heart, and the fifth case of a primary cardiac malignancy in an infant.
