AbstractWe report a case of a newborn, affected by tuberous sclerosis complex, with a prenatally diagnosed giant cardiac rhabdomyoma associated with a large renal angiomyolipoma presenting as a duct-depending lesion not treatable by surgery. After receiving everolimus, a mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor, we observed a rapid, significant, and durable reduction of both lesions without remarkable side effects.

Abstract Mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors was found recently to be an effective treatment for manifestations of Tuberous sclerosis complex, including cardiac rhabdomyomas. Most cases with Cardiac rhabdomyoma treated with mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors to date were diagnosed with Tuberous sclerosis. We report a case of cardiac rhabdomyoma and severe right ventricular outflow obstruction in a baby with negative genetics for Tuberous sclerosis that responded rapidly to Sirolimus.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Everolimus is an inhibitor of mTORC1 (mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1), it is Health Canada and FDA approved for SEGA and renal angiomyolipoma in the setting of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). There is little data available in regards to this treatment of TSC associated retinal astrocytoma (RA). Although the behaviour of RA is often indolent or slowly progressive, aggressive behaviour with retinal detachment and neovascular glaucoma requiring enucleation has been reported in several patients. Definite TSC diagnosis is established when either two major features or one major and two minor features are present. Probable TSC diagnosis is established when one major plus one minor feature is present. METHODS We report a child with probable TSC mosaicism, with negative serum NGS for TSC but RA and retinal achromic patch on the left. A left retinal peripapillary astrocytoma around optic nerve and very close to fovea was noted. There was concern that if it grew or there were to be any leakage it would cause visual impairment. This lead to therapy with everolimus 4.5 mg/m2/d aiming for level between 5 and 10 mcg/L. RESULTS This boy has had a gradual reduction of the RA over the last 29 months, with healthy retina in the region no longer occupied by the lesion and preserved vision. He has tolerated therapy well with occasional mouth ulcers. CONCLUSION mTORC1 inhibition is effective therapy to preserve vision in the setting of retinal astrocytoma and tuberous sclerosis mosaicism.

AbstractCardiac rhabdomyomas are the most common tumours in children and are typically seen in association with the tuberous sclerosis complex. Although benign and often associated with spontaneous regression, in rare circumstances surgical resection is indicated to relieve obstruction or other mass-related effects. Recent clinical trials have demonstrated the benefits of mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors for the treatment of other tumour sub-types associated with tuberous sclerosis. Here we report rapid regression of several massive cardiac rhadomyomas in two neonates with the use of the mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor sirolimus.
