The primary heart tumors are extremely strange during the childhood the incidence is of 0.0017 and 0.19% in its majority they are benign, the rhabdomyomas is the tumors but you frequent se of followed by teratomas, fibromas and myxomas in the fetus and the neonate. Approximately 75% of the tumors are benign and 25% malignant. In the stage perinatal for its localization can commit the sanguine flow, to interfere with the function myocardial or to unchain arrhythmias that can take to the death in uterus or in stage neonatal.
