Role of magnetic resonance imaging and dual-energy computed tomography in diagnosis of adult heart rhabdomyoma: A clinical case

https://doi.org/10.29001/2073-8552-2022-37-1-129-134

Abstract

This article describes a clinical case of the heart rhabdomyoma in an adult patient diagnosed in early childhood. The result of the continued tumor growth was cardiac arrhythmia in the form of ventricular extrasystole with runs of ventricular tachycardia. Authors also present a literature review on the frequency of occurrence, morphology, clinical manifestations, and diagnosis of this type of heart tumors, including using dual-energy computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with intravenous contrast enhancement.
