To discuss the diagnosis and management of primary cardiac sarcoma using hybrid imaging techniques.
Detailed case report of a 20-year-old man with prior Ewing sarcoma and cardiac surgery.
Utilized 18 F-FDG PET/CT for characterization of intracardiac masses and tumor burden assessment.
Evaluated the diagnostic value of PET imaging in conjunction with CT and MRI.
Primary cardiac tumors are rare, with sarcomas comprising the majority of cases.
Early diagnosis and complete surgical excision are critical for a better prognosis.
PET imaging enhances evaluation of cardiac masses and aids in detecting disease recurrence effectively.
