We describe 2 cases of tuberous sclerosis in a 17 and a 27 years old patients in which images compatible with a cardiac rhabdomioma were detected during an echocardiographic study. In one of the cases these images were multiple. We point out the few clinical repercussions they caused and the length of their undetected presence. We revise the clinical features and diagnosis of these rare tumours and comment on the need to withhold surgical treatment in situations which could put the patient's life in danger.

Two dimensional echocardiography seems to be the best diagnostic tool for diagnosis of cardiac tumors. In our practice using 2 dimensional echocardiography in pediatric patients from 1984 11 cardiac tumors were diagnosed and followed-up. Four of them the cardiac rhabdomyomata (one of them diagnosed in utero) was the first manifestation of tuberous sclerosis. We summarized the follow-up data from our patients with cardiac rhabdomyomata. The detection of cardiac tumor in the fetal or infant period is of outmost importance in the early diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis and suggest careful follow-up and management. To the best of our knowledge no report of tuberous sclerosis based on echocardiographic diagnosis of cardiac rhabdomyomata has been described in our country.
