Abstract
The article focuses on ultrasound diagnosis of cardiac tumors (CT). In recent time, the frequency of detecting cardiac neoplasm has been growing. Correct diagnosis at an early stage of the process would allow timely treatment. Before the introduction of two-dimensional echocardiography (EchoCG), life-time diagnosis of CT was very rare. This article describes major echocardiographic criteria for most common benign, malignant, and metastatic CTs. The article is illustrated with original echocardiographic images.
