Confronting perimenopausal women’s knowledge of coronary heart disease with their health behaviours. Controversial role of hormone replacement therapy in the protection of coronary heart disease
Tumors are rare in neonates. The most common type is a benign rhabdomyoma. Rhabdomyoma is self-regressing with time. However, if a tumor is huge and causing hemodynamic instability, surgery is indicated. We present successful cardiac surgery for partial removal of a giant rhabdomyoma tumor in the right ventricle of a 7-day-old neonate and spontaneous regression of the remnant tumor mass at follow-up.
