This report presents a case of tuberous sclerosis (TS) diagnosed through fetal cardiac arrhythmia and multiple cardiac rhabdomyomas. A dominant autosomal multisystemic disease, TS has an incidence of 1:10000 births, characterized by multiple hamartomas in organs of mesodermal and ectodermal origin. Rhabdomyoma is the most frequent primary heart tumor in childhood, and is associated with TS in 50% of cases. Other manifestations include epilepsy, mental retardation, and compressive disorders in the affected organs. TS has serious physical and psychological manifestations, requiring multidisciplinary monitoring. The purpose is to foster a better understanding and recognition of this disease, integrating the practitioners involved in its management.
