An 18-month-old boy presented with signs of increased intracranial pressure. Computed tomographic scans of the brain and lungs showed multiple masses in the brain and lungs. Echocardiography revealed homogeneous, irregular pericardial thickening, minimal pericardial effusion, and irregular echogenic areas in the left ventricular inferoposterior and apical regions. Postmortem examination of tumor tissue showed that the masses were primary rhabdomyosarcoma of the left ventricle with multiple metastases. Primary rhabdomyosarcoma of the heart is uncommon, especially in patients under 2 years of age.
一名18个月大的男孩出现颅内压升高的症状。脑部和肺部的计算机断层扫描显示脑部和肺部有多个肿块。超声心动图显示心包均匀、不规则增厚，少量心包积液，左心室下后壁和心尖区域有不规则回声区。肿瘤组织的尸检显示，这些肿块是左心室原发性横纹肌肉瘤并伴有多处转移。心脏原发性横纹肌肉瘤并不常见，尤其是在2岁以下的患者中。
