Multiple intracardiac tumors: spontaneous prenatal recovery of fetal bradyarrhythmia

Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol. 1996 Aug;8(2):120-2. doi: 10.1046/j.1469-0705.1996.08020120.x.

Abstract

Although prenatally detected intracardiac tumors are reported to have a poor prognosis, tumor regression and even tumor disappearance have been observed during childhood. A case of prenatal cessation of fetal cardiac tumor growth and return of cardiac arrhythmia to normal sinus rhythm is presented.
