Abstract

Cardiac tumors are rare in clinical practice but remain an essential part of the fast-growing field of cardio-oncology. They can be detected incidentally and consist of primary tumors (benign or malignant) and of the more prevalent secondary tumors (metastasis). They form a heterogeneous group of pathologies presenting with a wide panel of clinical symptoms according to their location and size. Multimodality cardiac imaging (echocardiography, CT, MRI and PET), in association with clinical and epidemiological factors, plays a key role in the diagnosis of cardiac tumors and a biopsy is therefore not systematically required. Treatment strategies for cardiac tumors vary depending on the malignancy and class of the tumor, but also consider associated symptoms, hemodynamic impact and embolic risk.
