Primary cardiac neoplasms are rare. Rhabdomyoma is the most common benign congenital tumor found in infancy and has a tendency for spontaneous regression. We report a case of a cardiac rhabdomyoma in a symptomatic neonate in whom serial echocardiography was used for diagnosis and documentation of initial regression as early as 1 month.
