We report the case of a male fetus with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), in whom multiple cardiac rhabdomyomas and renal angiomyolipomas were detected at 33 weeks by ultrasound with additional brain lesions detected on MRI, all confirmed after birth. DNA analysis of the TSC2 gene detected a de novo mutation in the TSC2 gene. Postnatal follow-up and neurological examination were normal, as were the results of Holter monitoring.

“…The advantages of real‐time 3D US over 2D US for the diagnosis of cardiac tumors have also been investigated in the literature. Hata et al7 have stated in their study with 3D echocardiography that cardiac gating is not required in 3D US. They have also showed rendered 3D images of the beating fetal heart obtained instantaneously.…”

Rhabdomyoma is the most common prenatally diagnosed cardiac tumor. We present two cases of fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma. In each case, fetal ultrasound assessment revealed the intracardiac tumors that were confirmed on postnatal imaging. The mother and her previous child were examined for the markers of tuberous sclerosis and diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis was confirmed. Two years later, cardiac rhabdomyomas were again diagnosed in her subsequent pregnancy. In the postpartum period, total regression of the tumors occurred in both cases.

“…STIC is a technique that allows examination of the fetal heart within a real-time 3D volume, through display in a cine-loop. At the same time, real-time 3D echocardiography with instantaneous volume rendering reveals mobile views of cardiac tumors ( 15 ). Through surface rendering of the STIC volume, an operator has the ability to observe virtual planes that are impossible to observe by conventional 2D ultrasound imaging.…”

Fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma is the most common cardiac tumor in fetuses. However, this benign tumor can cause hemodynamic repercussions and intrauterine fetal mortality. The present study reports a case of rare fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma located in the right atrium, accompanied by premature restriction of the foramen ovale and moderate pericardial effusion, as determined by tomographic ultrasound imaging (TUI). Fetal mortality subsequently occurred late in the second trimester of pregnancy and the diagnosis was confirmed by pathology. The present study discusses the occurrence and diagnosis of this rare abnormality. TUI mode with spatio-temporal image correlation offline imaging provides the physician with clear views of abnormal intracardiac structures in the beating heart. With improvements in sonographic technology, the diagnosis of fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma may be easier and more accurate in the clinical arena.
