“…Iso-hypointensity on T1-weighted MR images, hypointensity with possible hyperintense periferic rim on T2-weighted MR images, hypointensity on first-pass perfusion, hyperintensity with possible hypointense rim on LGE imaging in association with clinical data, particularly the age of presentation, frequently allow mass characterization. However, the information about coronary anatomy and tumor blood supply provided by CT are very important for surgical planning [46,47].…”

A cardiac lesion detected at ultrasonography might turn out to be a normal structure, a benign tumor or rarely a malignancy, and lesion characterization is very important to appropriately manage the lesion itself. The exact relationship of the mass with coronary arteries and the knowledge of possible concomitant coronary artery disease are necessary preoperative information. Moreover, the increasingly performed coronary CT angiography to evaluate non-invasively coronary artery disease leads to a rising number of incidental findings. Therefore, CT and MRI are frequently performed imaging modalities when echocardiography is deemed insufficient to evaluate a lesion. A brief comprehensive overview about diagnostic radiological imaging and the clinical background of cardiac masses and pseudomasses is reported.
