MeSH [1]

A rhabdomyoma is a benign tumor of striated muscle. Cardiac rhabdomyomas are the most common primary tumor of the heart in infants and children.

It has an association with tuberous sclerosis.[1]

It is most commonly associated with the tongue[2] and heart,[3] but can also occur in other locations.

The malignant form of rhabdomyoma is called rhabdomyosarcoma.
