Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Rhabdomyoma. The most common primary cardiac tumour in infants and children is rhabdomyoma. It accounts for more than 60% of all primary cardiac tumours [6, 7].

Detailed explanation-2: -Echocardiography is the simplest, safest, and reliable method for diagnosing cardiac myxoma. It can provide accurate judgment on the shape, mobility, attachment position of the tumor pedicle, the degree of damage to the atrioventricular valve, and the size of the atrioventricular.

Detailed explanation-3: -Myxoma is a noncancerous tumor that arises from connective tissue, which is tissue that connects and supports other tissues all over the body. Most frequently, myxomas are found in the heart and are referred to as cardiac myxomas, which are the most common type of primary cardiac tumors in adults.

Detailed explanation-4: -Echocardiography, especially the transesophageal route, is usually the initial imaging modality. It can show the tumor, its extent, and its hemodynamic consequences. Cardiac MRI provides further information about morphology, location, and extent of the mass.
