Abstract

Rhabdomyosarcoma is one of the most common primary cardiac tumors in children and adolescents alongside lymphomas. The diagnosis is based on a bundle of clinical, biological and histological arguments. Cardiac imaging, dominated by MRI, plays a key role in the tissue characterization of masses Therapeutic management is based on chemotherapy and the most complete surgical resection possible. We report the case of a rhabdomyosarcoma of the right atrium with pulmonary metastases in a 16-year-old girl revealed by a severe anemic syndrome with hemoptysis.
