This case highlights the importance of multimodal imaging, especially cardiac magnetic resonance, in the diagnostic work-up of cardiac masses.
Abels et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Primary cardiac sarcoma (n=1). Multimodal imaging (X-ray, echocardiography, CT, CMR) was evaluated on Diagnosis and characterization of cardiac mass. Multimodal imaging, especially cardiac magnetic resonance, enabled the diagnosis and characterization of an undifferentiated primary cardiac sarcoma in an 85-year-old woman presenting with dyspnea.
