The most benign cardiac tumor in the pediatric population is cardiac rhabdomyoma. They are known to be associated with tuberous sclerosis complex.

description The most benign cardiac tumor in the pediatric population is cardiac rhabdomyoma. They are known to be associated with tuberous sclerosis complex. Here we report a case with multiple cardiac rhabdomyomas and another rare anomaly of the heart known as hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The fetus was antenatally diagnosed with echocardiography which showed both rhabdomyoma and hypoplastic left heart. The patient was started on prostaglandin immediately after birth. He was confirmed postnatally to have inoperable congenital hypoplastic left heart syndrome. On the third day, the baby started to have progressive bradycardia and then died.
