INTRODUCTION
Cardiac rhabdomyomas are benign, the most common fetal cardiac tumors. They are usually associated with tuberous sclerosis (TS) with the incidence reported as high as 80% but may be sporadic (1-2). Cardiac rhabdomyomas are frequently diagnosed by means of fetal echocardiography during the prenatal period or during the first year of life. In most cases, no treatment is required and these lesions regress spontaneously (2). In rare instances with significant hemodynamic compromise, surgical resection has been the only option.
