title: Three dimensional echocardiographic assessment of multiple rhabdomyoma in newborn.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Cardiac rhabdomyomas represent the most common primary cardiac tumour in children and are strongly associated with tuberous sclerosis complex.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We reported a newborn for whom three-dimensional echocardiogram, with multiplane mode, real-time imaging, full volume and i-slice view, allowed detailed visualisation of multiple highly echogenic and well-circumscribed cardiac rhabdomyoma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Three-dimensional imaging allowed a better definition of the tumour characteristics and provided a better delineation of the spatial relationship of the mass with a tomographic perspective. Three dimensional imaging may facilitate a possible operative planning and should be included in cardiac mass evaluation and follow-up.
