چکیده
Cardiac tumors are rare in neonates, most are rhabdomyomas. Because of large size, they may cause homodynamic instability and even death in neonatal period. In 50% cases, rhabdomyoma is associated with tuberous sclerosis [1]. About 100 cases have been reported in literature [1, 3]. We are reporting a case of term neonate, with antenatally diagnosed cardiac masses, who expired at 36 h of life and ultimately diagnosed as rhabdomyoma. Other family members were found to be affected with tuberous sclerosis.
