Abstract

Mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors was found recently to be an effective treatment for manifestations of Tuberous sclerosis complex, including cardiac rhabdomyomas. Most cases with Cardiac rhabdomyoma treated with mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors to date were diagnosed with Tuberous sclerosis. We report a case of cardiac rhabdomyoma and severe right ventricular outflow obstruction in a baby with negative genetics for Tuberous sclerosis that responded rapidly to Sirolimus.
