Overall, the prevalence of primary cardiac neoplasms is approximately 0.3% and these masses should be distinguished from the myriad of other primary and secondary processes that can occur in the heart. Tumors within, attached to, or near the heart can cause direct cardiac damage, can result in thrombus formation, can compromise blood flow and can embolize distally. Hence, proper diagnosis is clinically important. It has been suggested that cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is a…

CMR Assessment of Cardiac Masses
TLDR
Evaluation of patients with clinical suspicion for cardiac masses begins with echocardiography; however, CMR imaging is usually considered as the next step in comprehensive assessment and can assess cardiac function as well as extracardiac involvement.
MR imaging of cardiac tumors and masses: a review of methods and clinical applications.
TLDR
An overview of cardiac masses is provided and the optimal MR imaging techniques for their assessment are reviewed, which include contrast material-enhanced MR imaging, which enables discrimination of different tissue characteristics, such as water and fat content.
Cardiac Tumors: Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Treatment
TLDR
A comprehensive clinical and multimodality imaging evaluation of cardiac tumors is fundamental to obtain a proper differential diagnosis, but histopathology is necessary to reach the final diagnosis and subsequent clinical management.
First Case of Multiple Primary Cardiac Leiomyosarcoma on a 17 Years Old Boy, Evaluated by Cardiac MR Imaging
TLDR
MR Imaging findings of this extremely un frequent presentation of multiple primary cardiac liomyosarcoma in a young boy are described.
Fatty Images of the Heart: Spectrum of Normal and Pathological Findings by Computed Tomography and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
TLDR
This pictorial review illustrates the most common characteristics of cardiac fatty images by computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance, in a spectrum of normal and pathological conditions ranging from physiological adipose images to diseases presenting with cardiac fatty foci.
Pathology, imaging, and treatment of cardiac tumours
TLDR
An overview of the clinical, pathological, and imaging characteristics of all types of cardiac masses, including both benign and malignant primary cardiac neoplasms are provided.
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance characterization of a hamartoma in an asyntomatic child
Fibrolipoma of the left ventricle: an uncommon incidental autopsy finding
TLDR
The case of an 82-year-old man with a medical history of malignant pleural mesothelioma and postmortem examination revealed a large encapsulated gelatinous, yellowish cardiac mass, a rare histologic variant of lipoma, irrelevant to the cause of death in the present case.
Mitral annular calcification: Can CMR be useful in identifying caseous necrosis?
TLDR
CMR may be useful for the identification and definition of pericardial and myocardial masses and CMAC, a chronic degeneration of the mitral annulus.
Right atrial myxoma associated with atrial flutter rhythm
TLDR
A case of a right atrial myxoma that was associated with atrial flutter rhythm in a 70-year old female with a medical history of dyspnea is presented, resulting in successful removal of the tumor.

MRI of primary malignant cardiovascular tumors.
TLDR
Primary malignant cardiac tumors have distinctive MR features that can be used to differentiate them from primary benign cardiac tumors.
Evaluation of cardiac tumors with magnetic resonance imaging
TLDR
MRI overcomes the usual limitations of echocardiography and assesses more accurately changes in cardiac function and allows differentiation of tumor from other nontumoral masses such as intracavitary tumors or fibromuscular elements of the posterior wall of the right atrium.
Cardiac tumours: diagnosis and management
TLDR
Cardiac tumours are diverse in clinical presentation, and atrial myxomas in particular may cause systemic symptoms mimicking collagen vascular disease, malignancy or infective endocarditis; there are several clinical features that are seen commonly with many cardiac tumours.
Cardiac tumors: diagnosis and management.
Cardiac masses: assessment by MR imaging.
TLDR
The ability to provide a global view of cardiac anatomy and other unique capabilities of MR imaging give the procedure an important role in the diagnosis and preoperative assessment of cardiac masses.

Fortunately, primary tumors of the heart and great vessels are rare. These primary tumors include angiosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, high-grade and pleomorphic sarcoma, and paraganglioma…
CT and MR imaging of primary cardiac malignancies.
TLDR
Primary cardiac malignancies are rare tumors that are difficult to diagnose clinically and have different clinical, morphologic, and radiologic features and intracardiac locations.
Cardiac tumors: a current clinical and pathological perspective.
TLDR
Clinicians should be knowledgeable of cardiac tumor pathology as well as their frequently atypical clinical presentations in order to achieve diagnostic and therapeutic adequacy.
Gated MRI of cardiac and paracardiac masses: initial experience.
TLDR
MRI can provide as much information as echocardiography, computed tomography, and angiography combined in the evaluation of cardiac and paracardiac masses, initial experience suggests.
Role of magnetic resonance imaging for evaluation of tumors in the cardiac region.
TLDR
MRI proved to be useful for tissue characterization of myxoma, angiosarcoma, mesothelioma, and fibroma in cases with tuberous sclerosis and in the differential diagnosis, and was useful in determining the location and border of pericardium.
