Malignant primary cardiac tumors are rare and generally present at a young age. Multimodal imaging (CT, Cardiac MRI, and Echo) represents the current gold standard for diagnosis, staging, and surgical planning. Unique considerations include tumor involvement of multiple cardiac structures, rapid growth with presence of necrosis, metastatic disease, and the intended goals of resection (R0 resection vs symptomatic improvement). Adjuvant chemotherapy may also be required. Prognosis is poor, but there is a survival benefit of surgical resection for select patients over nonsurgical therapy.
