Abstract

Cardiac rhabdomyoma is the most common cardiac tumor in fetal life, accounting for 60-86% of primary fetal cardiac tumors. It is primarily benign, originating form myocardial muscles and consisting of immature myocytes. About 50-60% of these tumors are associated with tuberous sclerosis. In this report, we present the clinical course and discuss the importance of prenatal diagnosis of cardiac tumors and their follow-up after birth.
