Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Cardiac rhabdomyomas are the most common fetal cardiac tumor. They can be detected in the second and third trimesters. Rhabdomyomas are most commonly associated with the genetic disorder tuberous sclerosis complex. When associated with tuberous sclerosis complex, cardiac rhabdomyomas usually regress within the first few years of life, without complications. Symptoms depend on the size, number, and location of the rhabdomyomas. A case report of multiple cardiac rhabdomyomas that was found at 35 weeks’ gestation and is discussed.
