Abstract
We present a case of fetal cardiac tumors diagnosed using conventional 2‐dimensional (2D) fetal echocardiography and real‐time 3‐dimensional (3D) echocardiography. Conventional 2D echocardiography revealed multiple cardiac tumors involving the right atrium, interventricular septum, and right and left ventricles. Real‐time 3D echocardiography with instantaneous volume rendering showed the cardiac tumors in motion. The advantages and disadvantages of real‐time 3D fetal echocardiography are discussed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2007
