Why the study?
Cardiac tumors in children are rare, and consensus-based imaging recommendations are needed for patient evaluation at diagnosis and follow-up, including during and after therapy.
This white paper provides consensus-based imaging recommendations for the diagnosis and follow-up of pediatric cardiac tumors.

Standardizes imaging evaluation for pediatric cardiac tumors; extends multidisciplinary consensus to diagnosis, therapy, and surveillance.
Cardiac tumors in children are rare and the majority are benign. The most common cardiac tumor in children is rhabdomyoma, usually associated with tuberous sclerosis complex. Other benign cardiac masses include fibromas, myxomas, hemangiomas, and teratomas. Primary malignant cardiac tumors are exceedingly rare, with the most common pathology being soft tissue sarcomas. This paper provides consensus-based imaging recommendations for the evaluation of patients with cardiac tumors at diagnosis and follow-up, including during and after therapy.
