Echocardiography is the most common method for the detection of cardiac masses. Masses can be described as intracavitary (within chambers or great vessels, and attached to chamber walls, valves or great vessels) or intramural (located within the muscular structure of the walls). Intracavitary masses can be firmly and broadly attached to walls and are referred to as having a sessile attachment. Alternatively, intracavitary masses may be attached to walls or valves by a long, or short, stalk (or pedicle or peduncle) and are referred to as pedunculated. Sessile masses move with the cardiac motion, but they move in synchrony with the attached structure. Pedunculated masses are hypermobile and generally oscillate if the stalk is long enough.
