RESUMEN
Los tumores cardiacos son poco comunes, y los más frecuentes son los rabdomiomas. Su diagnóstico puede realizarse durante la época fetal. La evolución es variable algunos son asintomáticos y otros se manifiestan por una obstrucción al flujo o en forma de arritmia. Este tipo de tumores puede ser la clave diagnóstica de una esclerosis tuberosa. Dado el amplio espectro en su presentación, mostramos dos casos, uno de diagnóstico prenatal y otro a partir de un hallazgo en la ecocardiografía(AU)
ABSTRACT
Primary cardiac tumors are not very common. Rhabdomyomas are those most frequently reported during childhood. They can be diagnosed as early as the fetal period. The course varies; in some cases, there are no symptoms, while in others, the diagnosis is based on the presence of an obstruction to the flow or an arrhythmia. Tumors of this type can be the clue to the diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis. Because of the wide variety of presenting features, we describe two cases, one diagnosed prenatally and the other through a finding on echocardiography(AU)
