چکیده
of primary cardiac tumors are benign tumors, such as myxoma.2) According to Prichard,3) the incidence of the cardiac rhabdomyosarcoma is lower than that of angiosarcoma, and nearly the same or slightly higher than that of other fibrosarcoma, reticulum cell sarcoma, and lymphosarcoma. We experienced an extremely rare case of rhabdomyosarcoma, which replaced the atrioventricular (A-V) node completely, and presented various kinds of arrhythmias. This is the eldest case of rhabdomyosarcoma.
