A case report of a girl with two foetal rhabdomyomas is presented. One tumour was a small cutaneous lesion present at birth in the left thigh and the other was located in the chest wall deeply in the subcutaneous tissue and attached to the adjacent intercostal muscle. The patient also had the naevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome which lends credence to the opinion that foetal rhabdomyoma is a malformation rather than a true neoplasm.
