Cardiac masses are rare, but remain an important component of cardio-oncology practice. These include benign tumors, malignant tumors (primary and secondary) and tumor-like conditions (e.g., thrombus, Lambl’s excrescences, and pericardial cyst).

Tissue characterization of benign cardiac tumors by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, a review of core imaging protocol and benign cardiac tumors. [PDF]
Generally, cardiac masses are initially suspected on routine echocardiography. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is further performed to differentiate tumors from pseudo-tumors and to characterize the cardiac masses based on their appearance on T1/

Differential diagnosis of cardiac tumors: General consideration and echocardiographic approach. [PDF]
Cardiac tumors may be primary (either benign or malignant) or secondary (malignant) and are first detected by echocardiography in most cases. The cardiologist often challenges their identification, the differential diagnosis and the best therapeutic ...

Multiparametric mapping by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in cardiac tumors [PDF]
Background There is a paucity of quantitative measurements of cardiac tumors and myocardium using parametric mapping techniques. This study aims to explore quantitative characteristics and diagnostic performance of native T1, T2, and extracellular volume

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance of cardiac tumors and masses. [PDF]
Cardiac masses diagnosis and treatment are a true challenge, although they are infrequently encountered in clinical practice. They encompass a broad set of lesions that include neoplastic (primary and secondary), non-neoplastic masses and pseudomasses ...

Patients with cardiac tumours may present with cardiovascular related or constitutional symptoms, but more often than not a cardiac mass is discovered incidentally during an imaging examination performed for an unrelated indication.Cardiac myxoma is ...

Intracardiac biopsy of cardiac tumors with echocardiographic guidance: Case report [PDF]
BackgroundPrimary cardiac tumors are very rare, and about 20–30% of them are malignant tumors. Since early signs of cardiac tumors are non-specific, diagnosis can be challenging.

Surgical treatment of primary cardiac tumors in the contemporary era: A single‐centre analysis [PDF]
Primary cardiac tumors (PCT) are rare lesions but have the potential to cause significant morbidity if not timely treated. We reviewed our single‐center experience in the surgical treatment of PCT with a focus on the long‐term outcome.

A Comprehensive Review of Cardiac Tumors: Imaging, Pathology, Treatment, and Challenges in the Third Millennium. [PDF]
Cardiac tumors represent rare neoplasms, but they include a very wide range of neoplasia—first primary benign and malignant cardiac tumors, then cardiac metastases, with these latter ones being far more common in adulthood.

Cardiac tumors are rare and encompass a variety of presentations. Clinica symptoms are usually nonspecific, but they can present as obstructive, embolic, or constitutional symptoms. Treatment options and prognosis vary highly depending on the subtype, tumor size, and location.
