An Extremely Rare Cause of Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome: Rhabdomyoma in Association With Tuberous Sclerosis

Rhabdomyomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors in infants and children. They are usually associated with tuberous sclerosis (TS). As the tumors tend to regress spontaneously, surgical intervention is not usually performed unless they become obstructive or cause incessant arrhythmias. We rep...
