Cardiac tumors in neonates and infancy are one among the many known congenital cardiac diseases. Although fetal cardiac tumors are rare, there is increased detection because of expertise in echocadiographic examination. Rhabdomyomas are the most common cardiac tumors among infants and children. Here, we describe twin neonates who had multiple cardiac tumors. This kind of presentation appears to be a very rare situation.
