Fetal rhabdomyoma: prenatal diagnosis, clinical outcome, and incidence of associated tuberous sclerosis complex.
We reviewed our institution's experience with fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma to document the clinical outcome and incidence of associated tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and compared our findings with those of patients diagnosed with cardiac rhabdomyoma after birth. ⋯ Cardiac rhabdomyomas are benign from the cardiovascular standpoint in most affected fetuses. As observed in postnatally diagnosed cardiac rhabdomyoma, TSC is diagnosed in most cases of fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma.

Case ReportsSerum alpha-fetoprotein screening for hepatoblastoma in children with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome or isolated hemihyperplasia.
An elevated risk of hepatoblastoma for children with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome or isolated hemihyperplasia is well established. We describe five children with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome or isolated hemihyperplasia for whom serial serum alpha-fetoprotein screening, usually in combination with abdominal ultrasound, led to early detection of hepatoblastoma.
