Although cardiac tumours are rare, such tumours are increasingly being diagnosed with increasing frequency and great accuracy by antenatal ultrasound. Cardiac haemangiomas account for less than one-twentieth of all primary cardiac tumours, with most being diagnosed in the neonatal period. We report 3 instances of successful neonatal resection of cardiac haemangioma subsequent to prenatal diagnosis. Such diagnosis is important in perinatal management, since early surgical intervention provides a good prognosis.
