A 55-year-old woman with rhabdomyosarcoma of the right ventricle is reported. In spite of the intensive therapy, she died of right heart failure on the 37th hospital day. The autopsy revealed a primary rhabdomyosarcoma of the right ventricle growing across the pulmonary valve, which almost obstructed the pulmonary trunk. Many emboli were found in the pulmonary arteries in both lungs. Metastasis was found also in the left adrenal gland. In this case, it was difficult to identify intracardiac tumor in spite of recognition of the abnormal echoes from the right ventricle. The problem of echocardiographic diagnosis of this disease was discussed.
