Key result
Multimodality noninvasive imaging techniques successfully narrowed the differential diagnosis and guided the operative plan for a right ventricular cardiac mass, confirmed as a benign myxoma.
Why the study?
Cardiac masses are rarely encountered and can cause severe hemodynamic consequences, where noninvasive imaging modalities can aid characterization, diagnosis, and operative planning.
Case Report (n=1)
Multimodality noninvasive imaging is valuable for characterizing rare cardiac masses and guiding surgical management.
Cardiac masses are rarely encountered in clinical practice and can lead to severe hemodynamic consequences. In addition to clinical cues, noninvasive modalities can play an important role in characterization of these masses and therefore their diagnosis and management planning. Here in this case report, we describe the use of various forms of noninvasive imaging techniques to narrow the differential diagnosis and form an operative plan for a cardiac mass later identified as a benign myxoma originating from the right ventricle on histological examination.

Sohal et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Cardiac mass (right ventricular myxoma) (n=1). Multimodality noninvasive imaging techniques was evaluated. Multimodality noninvasive imaging techniques successfully narrowed the differential diagnosis and guided the operative plan for a right ventricular cardiac mass, confirmed as a benign myxoma.
