Abstract

The case of an intrauterine diagnosis of a cardiac tumor (rhabdomyoma), corroborated through an anatomopathologic study in a 22-week fetus, is presented. Cardiac tumors in fetuses and newborns are not common and approximately 75 percent of them are rhabdomyomas or teratomas. They can be single or multiple, and can have different locations (valves, septum, ventricular walls).
