Abstract

Cardiac Rhabdomyosarcoma (CR) is a rare malignant neoplasm of the heart occurring in all age groups and genders. It can arise anywhere in the heart with varied clinical presentation. Available data on CR are mainly from case reports and series that are limited by small sizes. The purpose of this study was to characterize the epidemiology, presentation, management, hospital course, and outcomes of CR published in the English literature from 1980-2023.
