“…Out ow tract obstruction is not rare occurred in approximately 10% of our subjects. But severe hemodynamics disorders were scattered partly because multiple CRs, which accounted for 70% in this study, tended to be smaller [9] and chamber located [10] . Although 83.7% of tumors increased by the stimulation of maternal estrogen prenatally [11] , the increment reduced after the 32nd week [12] .…”

The long-term prognosis of fetus with cardiac rhabdomyoma (CR) depends on the correlation with tuberous sclerosis complex(TSC). Recent years, numerous variations of uncertain significance (VUS) of TSC genes produced by high-throughput sequencing makes counseling challenging, studies until now tend to sidestep the tricky topics. Here, we integrated detailed parental phenotype, echocardiography, neuro MRI and genetic information to conduct a comprehensive evaluation for 61 CR fetuses. As a result, multiple CRs and cerebral lesions appeared in 90% and 80% respectively in fetuses with pathogenic(P)/likely pathogenic(LP) TSC1/TSC2 variation. 85.7% of the live-born with P/LP presented TSC-associated signs. 85.7% VUS without nervous findings had good prognosis. Genetic evidence and cerebral MRI findings are the most sensitive index to assess long-term prognosis, which complement and confirm each other for a TSC diagnosis. 68.9% fetuses with CR could benefit from this multidisciplinary approach, which turned to be potentially clinically actionable with precise clinical/genetic diagnosis or had a foreseeable outcome. Our practice provides a practical and feasible solution for perinatal management and prognostic guidance for fetuses with CR.

“…They can cause haemodynamic changes, which may threaten fetal well-being or can even be fatal, unless monitored [8,9]. Echocardiography remains the main tool for monitoring and early clinical diagnosis [10][11][12][13], although histopathology and genetics are still significant in the diagnosis and treatment of benign cardiac tumours [14,15].…”

Introduction: Fetal cardiac tumours are relatively rare findings. The aim of this research was to present the natural course in a series of 37 fetuses with cardiac tumours, who had fetal echocardiography performed and the pregnancies had been continued until term. Material and methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 37 cases with prenatally detected heart tumour. The study group was divided into multiple-and single-tumour subgroups and into survivors versus non-survivors. The number of survivors in subgroups and the incidence of prognostic factors were compared by c 2 test. The presence of additional cardiac anomalies, the way of delivery and neonatal follow-up was analysed. The literature (Pub Med) was reviewed. Results: There was no statistical difference between the number of survivors in groups of single versus multiple tumours (p > 0.05). In group of non-survivors there was a higher incidence of bad prognostic factors detected prenatally: pericardial effusion, mitral regurgitation, and cardiomegaly (p < 0.05). The authors suggested a different way of perinatal care and counselling in multiple and single fetal heart tumours. Conclusions: Fetal cardiac tumours in the majority of cases were rhabdomyoma, and in case of normal heart anatomy and normal intracardiac flow the short-term prognosis was good. Fetal single heart tumour with progression of its size in the third trimester may require early surgical resection, so delivery in a tertiary perinatal and cardiac surgery centre might be necessary. Pericardial effusion, mitral regurgitation, and cardiomegaly might implicate a worse prognosis in the case of fetal heart tumour. Fetal cardiac tumour may require a multispecialist team approach to benefit from early detection and diagnosis.
