Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcoma of the heart is a rare tumor, especially in childhood and particularly in the left ventricle. A primary tumor of this type was successfully resected after echocardiographic assessment alone in a young girl exposed prenatally to diphenylhydantoin. The patient is well and free of recurrence 2 1/2 years later.
