Research Interest: Cardiac tumors could arise from all cardiac layers in addition to the lining pericardium with predominance of benign tumor. Rhabdomyomas consider the most common of the cardiac benign tumors. Metastatic tumors are more frequent than primary form. The prevalence of primary cardiac tumors in pediatric is 0.0017 to 0.28 in autopsy series. The incidence of cardiac tumor during fetal life nearly 0.14%. Around of 10% of pediatric cardiac tumors are malignant. Sarcomas considered the commonest primary cardiac malignant tumor in pediatric. The 2ry cardiac malignant tumors are 10 - 20 times more prevalent than primary ones .This paper presents two cases of cardiac rhabdomyomas which consider the commonest pediatric tumors to Hight the different scenarios in presentations
