Intracardiac rhabdomyosarcoma was diagnosed in a 14-month-old Golden Retriever referred for evaluation of syncope. The dog was weak, with irregular heart rate, pulse deficit, heart murmur, and hepatomegaly. Thoracic radiography revealed generalized cardiomegaly, and electrocardiography revealed sinus rhythm with multiform ventricular premature complexes and intermittent ventricular tachycardia. Two-dimensional echocardiography revealed extensive soft-tissue density masses in both ventricles. An intracardiac neoplasm seen at postmortem examination was identified histologically as rhabdomyosarcoma, an uncommon intracardiac tumor in dogs.

D012208 Rhabdomyosarcoma A malignant solid tumor arising from mesenchymal tissues which normally differentiate to form striated muscle. It can occur in a wide variety of sites. It is divided into four distinct types: pleomorphic, predominantly in male adults; alveolar (RHABDOMYOSARCOMA, ALVEOLAR), mainly in adolescents and young adults; embryonal (RHABDOMYOSARCOMA, EMBRYONAL), predominantly in infants and children; and botryoidal, also in young children. It is one of the most frequently occurring soft tissue sarcomas and the most common in children under 15.
