Tuberous sclerosis is an autosomal dominant disorder in which hamartomas occur in several organs. The most common heart tumor in children is rhabdomyoma. Rhabdomyoma is often associated with tuberous sclerosis and can be diagnosed by echocardiography during the antenatal or postnatal period. Herein, we suggest that fetal echocardiography should be performed in cases with a positive family history of tuberous sclerosis. Additionally, tuberous sclerosis should be kept in mind in a case with fetal rhabdomyoma
