Key result
Prenatal or postnatal echocardiographic detection of cardiac rhabdomyomas serves as an early sign of tuberous sclerosis, with all 3 cases showing spontaneous tumor regression alongside progression of other disease symptoms.
Why the study?
Cardiac rhabdomyomas carry a significant risk of developing tuberous sclerosis, where early echocardiographic detection may aid in the early diagnosis of this severe multisystem disease.
Case Report (n=3)
Prenatal or early postnatal echocardiographic detection of cardiac rhabdomyomas is a crucial early sign of tuberous sclerosis, allowing for early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management despite the spontaneous regression of the cardiac tumors.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Cardiac rhabdomyoma regression does not preclude TSC progression; leaves open need for prospective studies on TSC2 surveillance.

Najdeková et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Cardiac rhabdomyoma and Tuberous sclerosis (n=3). Cardiac rhabdomyoma was evaluated on Spontaneous regression of heart tumors and progression of tuberous sclerosis symptoms. Prenatal or postnatal echocardiographic detection of cardiac rhabdomyomas serves as an early sign of tuberous sclerosis, with all 3 cases showing spontaneous tumor regression alongside progression of other disease symptoms.
