The most common cardiac tumor is rhabdomyoma, which may be associated with tuberous sclerosis. However, not all cardiac rhabdomyomas are pathognomonic for tuberous sclerosis, and not all congenital cardiac tumors are rhabdomyomas. During the prenatal period, early cardiac tumor detection provides important information about fetal wellbeing, delivery planning, and necessary postnatal care.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We report a 36-year-old African American pregnant women. At 32\u00a0weeks 5\u00a0days gestational age, the male fetus had a fetal echocardiogram due to fetal arrhythmia. The fetal echocardiogram showed two small echogenic, RV apex and septal masses, suspicious of rhabdomyomas. After a routine pregnancy and a normal spontaneous vaginal delivery (39\u00a0weeks 1\u00a0day), the male baby was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit for further monitoring and postnatal evaluation.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Rhabdomyomas are extremely rare and unique tumors. These tumors are very dangerous, but they usually regress after birth. During the prenatal period, early cardiac tumor detection provides important information about fetal wellbeing, delivery planning, and necessary postnatal care. We present this case to share our findings with our pediatric colleagues. Although a rarely reported case, we hope this cardiac rhabdomyoma case report and literature review can increase cardiac tumor awareness.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13256-022-03371-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,21]],"date-time":"2022-04-21T22:26:00Z","timestamp":1650579960000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Congenital cardiac masses: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Alsabri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alejandro","family":"Gonzalez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aaron","family":"Sircy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sai Sarada","family":"Policherla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kemi","family":"Mascoll-Robertson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"3371_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e00070","DOI":"10.1016\/j.crwh.2018.e00070","volume":"19","author":"E Ekmekei","year":"2018","unstructured":"Ekmekei E, Ozkan BO, Yildiz MS, Kocakaya B.
