Key result
This review describes and illustrates the echocardiographic, CT, and cardiac MRI appearances of various benign cardiac tumours and masses.
This review provides a comprehensive overview of the multimodality imaging appearances of benign cardiac tumours, aiding in their detection and evaluation during routine practice.
Incidental CT detection of benign cardiac tumors warrants multimodality correlation; extends prior echocardiographic and MRI descriptions for radiologists.
Primary benign cardiac tumours are rarely found in clinical practice and are generally evaluated with echocardiography. However, with the increasing usage of helical multislice CT, the initial detection and evaluation of these masses may be made by the radiologist during routine daily practice for other indications. The echocardiographic, CT and cardiac MRI appearances of various benign cardiac tumours and masses are described and illustrated in this review.
