Abstract
This article presents a rare case of tuberous sclerosis with cardiac rhabdomyoma in a newborn. Rhabdomyoma is a benign tumor in the heart cavity, arising from embryonic muscle cells, and is frequently associated with tuberous sclerosis (TS), serving as its diagnostic marker. The disease was not detected prenatally. Postnatally, the infant was found to have a heart murmur; within days depigmented patches appeared all over the body, predominantly on the back, groin area, and legs. The diagnosis was established based on echocardiography. To determine further management tactics, a telemedicine consultation was conducted with the Federal Center for Cardiovascular Surgery in Khabarovsk, and the diagnosis was confirmed. Urgent planned surgical intervention was indicated.
