This case report describes the rare prenatal diagnosis of a cardiac osteoma at 17 weeks of gestation.
Facilitates early prenatal identification of rare cardiac osteoma; leaves open optimal management pending additional reports.
Primary benign intracardiac tumours in the infant period are rare. We report a case of a cardiac osteoma detected at 17 weeks of gestation. Ultrasonographically, it appeared as a calcified mass with a sharp margin and was associated with hypoplastic right ventricle. The gross and histological findings are presented.
