Abstract
In this study, we will investigate the imaging strategy for cardiac neoplasms, focusing on the most prevalent and clinically important tumours and the correlation between their pathology and imaging presentation. These uncommon diseases are at the crossroads of cancer and cardiac imaging, and their symptoms may be similar to those of more prevalent cardiac conditions. Various patients presenting to new civil hospital with cardiac mass are examined for clinical features, radiologic, biochemical and histopathologic examination. Cases of cardiac myxoma, rhabdomyoma, fibroma, haemangioma, angiosarcoma, lymphoma are examined. Patients are examined radiologically with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Important imaging factors to consider when dealing with a cardiac mass include tumour location, metastatic disease risk and clinical presentation. The most useful characteristic for identifying cardiac mass is often its location. The overall frequency of benign cardiac masses on the left side of the heart is higher than the frequency of myxomas, which are more common on the left side of the heart. The right side of the body is where the majority of cancers that spread to the heart, such as cardiac lymphoma and angiosarcoma, are found. Angiosarcoma is more likely to occur when there is necrosis, surface augmentation and valve involvement, lymphoma is more likely to occur when there is homogeneity and vascular encasement. All the cases are studied thoroughly for their clinical features, radiological findings and pathological appearance. Our results indicate that the pathophysiology at the root cause of the diverse imaging appearances of primary cardiac neoplasms is recognized. We come to the understanding that primary cardiac neoplasms are very uncommon and despite the fact that they could exhibit symptoms that are similar to those of other types of neoplasms, they are not considered to be cancerous. Their underlying pathophysiology provides an explanation for the varied imaging appearances that primary cardiac neoplasms can take. Location, tissue characteristics, age and related symptoms are the main clinical aspects to be considered while imaging a primary cardiac tumour.
