Cardiac rhabdomyoma is the most common primary pediatric tumor of the heart. We report a 1-month old male infant who presented to our institute for routine cardiac evaluation since he was diagnosed to have a cardiac mass in the right ventricle (RV) in utero. After he was born, an echocardiogram showed two large cardiac masses occupying entire RV cavity and origin of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). Although our patient was asymptomatic, surgical removal of these two masses was done due to its proximity to RVOT and also because it was almost obliterating the entire RV cavity.
