    Fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma (CR) is a rare tumor often associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) due to TSC1/TSC2 mutations.

  • 2

    This case series includes three women with fetuses diagnosed with CR, highlighting genetic heterogeneity and individualized management.

  • 3

    Genetic testing revealed a paternally inherited TSC2 mutation in one case and a de novo TSC1 mutation in another, with varying recurrence risks.

  • 4

    Multidisciplinary care is essential for managing CR, influencing decisions on induction timing, delivery mode, and postpartum care.

  • 5

    Timely diagnosis and tailored management strategies are crucial for optimizing outcomes in pregnancies affected by fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma.
