MAZA-CANEVA, Olga C. et al. Cardiac rhabdomyoma associated with tetralogy of Fallot and tuberous sclerosis. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2021, vol.28, n.5, pp.489-494.  Epub 29-Nov-2021. ISSN 0120-5633.  https://doi.org/10.24875/rccar.m21000089.

Cardiac tumors are rare in pediatrics, and when they occur, rhabdomyomas are the most prevalent. They are generally benign; symptomatic cases are due to mechanical obstruction or arrhythmias. They are not commonly associated with congenital heart disease. We present the case of an infant with multiple rhabdomyomas as part of tuberous sclerosis complex, and tetralogy of Fallot with severe infundibular and valvular stenosis, who presented a hypoxic crisis requiring percutaneous pulmonary valvuloplasty which was complicated by supraventricular arrythmia and had a fatal outcome.

Palabras clave : Primary cardiac tumors; Tetralogy of Fallot; Rhabdomyoma; Tuberous sclerosis.
