Giant Left Ventricular Rhabdomyoma: From Missed Prenatal Detection to Postnatal Surgical Management

We report a case of a giant left ventricular rhabdomyoma in a 6-month-old male, which was undetected during prenatal screening but was identified postnatally through routine echocardiography and subsequently surgically resected. This article highlights the importance of regular prenatal screening and follow-up, with particular emphasis on the value of high-resolution fetal echocardiography between 28 and 32 weeks of gestation, even without initial indications of structural heart abnormalities.

Abstract

We report a case of a giant left ventricular rhabdomyoma in a 6-month-old male, which was undetected during prenatal screening but was identified postnatally through routine echocardiography and subsequently surgically resected. This article highlights the importance of regular prenatal screening and follow-up, with particular emphasis on the value of high-resolution fetal echocardiography between 28 and 32 weeks of gestation, even without initial indications of structural heart abnormalities.
