  Abstract

A 72-year-old man presented with worsening shortness of breath and a systolic murmur. Transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiograms revealed a huge mass (70x30mm) obliterating the right ventricular outflow tract, with a peak transpulmonary gradient of 128mmHg. Pathological examination confirmed the mass to be a primary cardiac rhabdomyosarcoma originating from the pulmonary valve.

Keywords: Primary cardiac tumours
