Rhabdomyomata are the most common cardiac tumors in childhood and are associated with tuberous sclerosis. These tumors tend to regress in the first years of life. Little is known about their intrauterine growth pattern. We describe three fetuses with cardiac rhabdomyomata and illustrate the tumor growth by serial echocardiographic views during the second half of gestation. Tumor growth is proportional to cardiac growth and tends to be somewhat slower toward the end of pregnancy.
横纹肌瘤是儿童期最常见的心脏肿瘤，与结节性硬化症相关。这些肿瘤在生命的最初几年往往会消退。关于它们在子宫内的生长模式知之甚少。我们描述了三名患有心脏横纹肌瘤的胎儿，并通过妊娠后半期的系列超声心动图观察结果展示了肿瘤的生长情况。肿瘤生长与心脏生长成比例，在妊娠末期往往会稍慢一些。
