Abstract:
A case of primary cardiac tumor with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLH) is presented. Sonographic examination at 32 weeks' gestation revealed a large tumor in the left ventricle of the fetal heart. The newborn died of congestive heart failure at 11 days of age. Autopsy demonstrated a large tumor in the left ventricle obliterating most of the left ventricular cavity, aortic atresia, and hypoplastic ascending aorta. Microscopically, the cardiac tumor showed "spider-cells" characteristics of rhabdomyoma.
