“…6). Cardiac rhabdomyomas are often multiple, occurring in more than one cardiac chamber and may produce arrhythmias, obstruct blood flow in the heart, or diminish contractility because of replacement of the myocardium (13). Although cardiac tumors can easily be detected by prenatal echocardiography at as early as 20 weeks of gestation, diagnosis requires that they are of sufficient size.…”

A variety of neoplasms can develop in each tetal organ. Most fetal neoplasms can be detected by careful prenatal ultrasonographic examination. Some neoplosms show specific ultrasonographic findings suggesting the differential diagnosis, but others do not. Knowledge of the presence of a neoplasm in the fetus may alter the prenatal management of a pregnancy and the mode of delivery, and facilitates immediate postnatal treatment. During the last five years, we experienced 32 cases of fetal neoplasms in a variety of organs. We describe their typical ultrasonographic findings with correlating postnatal CT, MRI, and pathologic findings.

“…Although cardiac tumors can easily be detected by prenatal US at as early as 20 weeks of gestation, diagnosis requires that they are of sufficient size. During the fetal period cardiac rhabdomyomas are known to either become larger or regress, but most regress postnatally, either partially or completely [37]. Fetal tuberous sclerosis is usually diagnosed with multiple cardiac rhabdomyomas, but prenatal detection of subependymal hamartoma (Fig.…”

Ultrasonography

The incidence of fetal tumors has been increased due to generalization of prenatal evaluation and improvement of imaging techniques. The early detection of a fetal tumor and understanding of its imaging features are very important for fetal, maternal, and neonatal care. Ultrasonography is usually used for the detection and differential diagnosis of fetal tumors, and magnetic resonance imaging is increasingly being used as a complementary study. Many fetal tumors have different clinical and imaging features compared with pediatric tumors. Although several fetal tumors may mimic other common anomalies, some specific imaging features may carry early accurate diagnosis of fetal tumors, which may alter the prenatal management of a pregnancy and the mode of delivery, and facilitate immediate postnatal treatment.

“…Los rabdomiomas representan los tumores cardiacos congénitos más frecuentes, ya que constituyen el 60% de los mismos 1 . Pese a ello, y según demuestra un metaanálisis reciente de 409 casos de rabdomiomas cardiacos descritos en publicaciones médicas desde 1965, sólo 87 (21%) se identificaron antes del nacimiento 2 .…”
