Abstract
Echography performed on a healthy woman at the 30th week of an uneventful pregnancy demonstrated the presence of an intracardiac tumor protruding into the left ventricular cavity. In the early neonatal period a cardiovascular surgeon removed the mass which proved to be a rhabdomyoma. The authors stress the importance of these echographic findings in formulating plans for the management of pregnancy, delivery and proper therapeutic intervention.Keywords
