Abstract
Cardiac rhabdomyoma in an adult without tuberous sclerosis complex is extremely rare entity.8 Isolated tricuspid stenosis accounts for about 2.4% of all cases of organic tricuspid valve disease. A young woman presented to us with breathlessness and features of heart failure with a history of rheumatic fever. Eventually she was diagnosed with an atrial mass and an isolated tricuspid stenosis. Mass was excised and valve stenosis was corrected surgically under cardiopulmonary bypass. Histology proved the mass to be a rhabdomyoma. The patient is doing well till date.
