Excerpt
Spontaneous regression of cardiac rhabdomyoma is well documented in the literature [
1]. Wu et al. [
2] have proposed that the ubiquitin pathway is associated with degradation of myofilaments in the spider cells and thus may play a role in tumor regression, through necrosis, apoptosis, and myxoid degeneration. Using echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging, we illustrate the apparent transformation of a cardiac rhabdomyoma into fibrous tissue. …
