Typically, this tumor is asymptomatic; however, its size and location can compromise cardiac function, potentially leading to heart failure, which may manifest as cyanosis of the lips and respiratory difficulties. Embryonal dysplastic neuroepithelial tumor is a slow-growing benign brain tumor classified as a neuroepithelial tissue tumor. It typically does not undergo malignant transformation and originates from the cerebral cortex. The concurrent occurrence of cardiac rhabdomyoma and embryonal dysplastic neuroepithelial tumor, manifesting as facial and perioral cyanosis, is relatively uncommon in pediatric patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case report<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We present a case of a 4-year-and-4-month-old boy who was admitted for \u201crecurrent facial and perioral cyanosis over the past year\u201d. Prenatal four-dimensional ultrasound revealed strong echogenic foci within the ventricles, suggesting the presence of a cardiac rhabdomyoma. One year prior to admission, the child experienced recurrent episodes of facial and perioral cyanosis. Considering his medical history, the admission diagnosis was left ventricular outflow tract obstruction due to the cardiac rhabdomyoma. However, following a systematic evaluation and investigation, the definitive cause of the \u201cfacial and perioral cyanosis\u201d was determined to be an embryonal dysplastic neuroepithelial tumor. The child subsequently underwent tumor resection, and pathological examination confirmed the preoperative diagnosis. Postoperatively, the child has remained free of facial and perioral cyanosis for over two years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The concurrent occurrence of cardiac rhabdomyoma and embryonal dysplastic neuroepithelial tumor is exceedingly rare. Clinicians must exercise caution when evaluating the etiology of a child's symptoms. This case emphasizes the necessity of increasing clinicians\u2019 awareness of this rare concomitant occurrence and highlights the vital role of timely diagnosis and surgical intervention in enhancing patient outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2025.1703713","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,25]],"date-time":"2025-11-25T06:26:54Z","timestamp":1764052014000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Case Report: A patient with cardiac rhabdomyoma associated with embryonal developmental dysplasia of neuroepithelial tumors, presenting with recurrent cyanosis of the face and lips"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Qian","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Long","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","first-page":"583","article-title":"Tumors and tumor-like conditions of the heart","volume-title":"Cardiovascular Pathology","author":"Burke","year":"2001"},{"key":"B2","first-page":"254","article-title":"Benign tumours with myocyte differentiation","volume-title":"Pathology and Genetics of Tumours of the Lung, Pleura and Heart","author":"Burke","year":"2004"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"928","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1651-2227.1996.tb14188.x","article-title":"The natural history of cardiac rhabdomyoma with and without tuberous sclerosis","volume":"85","author":"Bosi","year":"1996","journal-title":"Acta Paediatr"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"219","DOI":"10.1016\/S1470-2045(05)70093-0","article-title":"Cardiac tumors: diagnosis and management","volume":"6","author":"Butany","year":"2005","journal-title":"Lancet Oncol"},{"key":"B5","first-page":"132","article-title":"Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour","volume-title":"WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System","author":"Pietsch","year":"2016"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"97","DOI":"10.1007\/s00401-007-0243-4","article-title":"The 2007 WHO classification of tumours of the central nervous system","volume":"114","author":"Louis","year":"2007","journal-title":"Acta Neuropathol"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"545","DOI":"10.1227\/00006123-198811000-00002","article-title":"Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor: a surgically curable tumor of young patients with intractable partial seizures.
