While rare, cardiac tumors frequently necessitate surgical removal.Non-invasive cardiac imaging is often the first step in the diagnostic work up, including those instances where the cardiac mass is detected on prenatal ultrasound in the unborn child.Important questions for the echocardiographer include evidence of hemodynamic compromise (obstruction), growth characteristics and tissue characterization.This presentation will briefly review the pathology of cardiac tumors in children and how it correlates to echocardiographic imaging.
