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
