Abstract

Primary rhabdomyosarcoma of the heart is a rare lesion. Because of their rarity and acute onset, rapid progression and deterioration of symptom, there have been few cases treated by surgery irradiation and chemotherapy. We have experienced a patient with acute biventricular failure secondary to a rhabdomyosarcoma arising from the left atrium and invading the right atrium.
