Background & aim: Dextrocardia is a cardiac positional abnormality in which the heart is located in the right hemotorax with the apex axis to the right. Dextrocardia is a rare anomaly with a prevalence of about 1 in every 10,000 people. The aim of this study was to determine and report a pregnancy in a woman with dextrocardia with liver hemangioma. Case Report: A 30-year-old woman, with a first pregnancy, 34 weeks gestational pregnancy, reported cardiac and abdominal visceral displacement. Mild mitral valve insufficiency was reported in echocardiography and in ultrasound, spleen and liver in the left upper quadrant and right ventricle and in the midline (Situs inverse) and an echogenic mass suggestive of hemangioma. The liver is. The size of the hemangioma in this ultrasound did not change compared to pre-pregnancy ultrasound. Also, NT1 ultrasound and normal and fetal scan anomalies showed no abnormalities or displacement of viscera. Conclusion: In spite of the rare occurrence of dextrocardial malformations, thorough physical examination and ultrasound should be performed in such cases and in the absence of syndromic anomalies, they will most likely have a risk-free pregnancy.
