Abstract
Cardiac rhabdomyoma is the most common cardiac tumor in fetal and newborns, which is associated
with tuberous sclerosis. It is often detected by echocardiography and regular ultra sonography in the
second trimester of pregnancy. Tumor size in this disease varies and fetal hydrops and pericardial
effusion are unusual. The size, number, and location of the tumors can produce a mass effect that
may result in malfunctioning of blood flow and further cause organ dysfunction (heart failure and
arrhythmias). Early diagnosis of cardiac rhabdomyoma is crucial for effective treatment. This case
report illustrated the case of antenatal cardiac rhabdomyoma with tuberous sclerosis. Cardiac
masses were detected before birth in ultrasound and postnatally all these tumors were excised
Keywords
