RESUMO
O rabdomioma cardíaco raramente é encontrado na valva mitral, porém, embora de grande dimensão (15x14 mm), causando até obstrução a esse nível nos primeiros meses de vida, observou-se a involução total e espontânea do mesmo, iniciada com 68 meses, e tornando-se progressivamente menor até completar 14 anos de idade.
