Abstract
MORALES-QUISPE, Jorge A. et al. Multiple cardiac rhabdomyoma associated to intrauterine death. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2011, vol.81, n.3, pp.217-220. ISSN 1665-1731.
Rhabdomyoma is the most common cardiac tumor detected during fetal life and childhood; nevertheless its incidence is very low. This is a histologically benign tumor, but in some cases may cause hemodynamic repercussion with date of low cardiac output, arrhythmias and exceptionally intrauterine death as occurred in our case, which was detected by obstetric ultrasound and fetal echocardiogram and corroborated by histological study.
